A beautiful film about a young English woman going to Italy for give a message from her mother to her nnonna.
The language obstacle, the cultural differences , the admirable performance of Sorcha Groundsell, the obvious old conflict between nonna and her daughter are the pillars of this pure beautiful, gentle - precise crafted short film.
Two scenes defines it : the song in grota, reminding so much a ritual ( maybe witchcraft ) and the speechless end.
A matriarchal society, obvious. And inspired realistic details.
Not the last, the great aspect remains the special poetry defining the story, the images, the message.
In short, a beautiful, in real profound sense, film.
