Baaria
Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore
Produced by Medusa Film, Quinta Communications
A sweeping, affectionate chronicle of one man's life across fifty years of Sicilian history, balancing personal warmth with the weight of political and social upheaval.
In 1920s Bagheria, Giuseppe 'Peppino' Torrenuova works as a shepherd to financially help his poor family. Over the next fifty years, Giuseppe's life, as well as the life of the village, is observed. Giuseppe grows up, joins the Communist Party, marries a local girl, has children, and forges a political career for himself.
