Synopsis

A group of boys friends’ lives take an unexpected turn when a strange stray ‘madonna’, the lovely Annalisa, literally flies into their midst from the top of a church, dressed as a bride. Smitten, Zazà and Veleno awkwardly approach her and experience pure ecstasy…

Our take

Roused by a passionate love triangle, a sleepy small town comes alive in Pippo Mezzapesa’s bewitching feature debut, adapted from Mario Desiati’s acclaimed novel. Under the Mediterranean sun of Taranto, this radiant yet melancholic tale of lost innocence aches with youthful desire and longing.
