Baaria

From the acclaimed director of Cinema Paradiso comes an epic saga of life and death, love and hatred in a vibrant Sicilian town in the first half of the 20th century. Following the life of Peppino Torrenuova from his upbringing as a high-spirited cowherders' son, to his forbidden romance and marriage to the beautiful Mannina and culminating in his tumultuous and comical political career and home life, Baaria is a humourous and often heartbreaking tale of small-town family dynamics.
