Synopsis

After an accident Giuseppe is out of work. It’s just him and his son Antò, since his beloved wife Angela died. Now they’ve also lost their home, and live in a tent city with other seasonal workers. Giuseppe has promised Antò he will have his mother back, and will do anything to keep his promise.

Our take

A potent takedown of Italy’s brutally unforgiving agriculture industry, Una Promessa shows a family’s incredible struggle to survive amid the rural landscapes of the south. The De Serio brothers channel their raw and righteous rage into this neorealism-infused human drama.
