    An impossible love
    What stands out from this single film directed by Enzo Provenzale, a Sicilian who worked mainly as a production director on films as famous as The White Sheik and Satyricon by Fellini, Leopard by Visconti or Last Tango in Paris by Bertolucci, in addition to multiple collaborations with Francesco Rosi, it is the claustrophobic atmosphere of his native Sicily that he harshly and ruthlessly depicts.

    An outcast couple find themselves on the run, almost by chance. It's just the flight that unites them, the distance from families, vendettas, mafia nobility and their assassins. Everyone has their reasons for fleeing, which chance brought together along the way. But Sicily is merciless and fatal. A work that gained attributes over time.
