Adelmo Di Fraia

Once episodios vagamente unidos en cinco capítulos. La tonalidad del film va de la sátira vitriólica a las viñetas cuasi antropológicas. Todos los aspectos de la italianidad de la época son cuestionados, burlados o diseccionados con mirada divertida pero crítica: usos, costumbres, personajes, instituciones, etc.

A pretty woman approaching middle age rents out rooms in a small Italian town. An aging sailor and a handsome younger man are amongst the lodgers.

Inspired by a real-life event that took place in Calabria at the end of World War 2, the film is the story of a young farmer who led peasants to revolt, after being falsely accused of murder.
