In Disperata, an abandoned village in the depths of Apulia in southern Italy, whose name is already a sad omen, the mayor, with a melancholy temperament, does not feel up to his role. He must face the pugnacious opposition of business people who want to concretize the waterfront. Written by Les Films du Camelia
