In fascist Italy of 1935, a writer is exiled due to his political views to a remote village in the South, where he will come into contact with a time-forgotten rural community, completely cut off from civilization and progress... A slow-burning allegorical drama with authentic, documentary-like images of the simple, rooted to earth life of the inhabitants of mountainous Italy, as captured by left-wing writer and painter Carlo Levi in his autobiographical book. Papas brilliantly impersonates
the courageous, proud, exonerated single mother who takes on the role of the hero's housekeeper, since, as a "sinner", she is deemed the only one allowed to enter the bachelor's house by the deeply conservative micro-society of the village. A role -and an entropy- that is worth discovering, in one of the rarest films in the tribute, which will even be screened on restored 35mm film.
