Synopsis
On the
day in 1940 that Italy enters the war, two things happen to
the 12-year-old Renato: he gets his first bike, and he gets
his first look at Malèna, a beautiful, silent outsider who's
moved to this Sicilian town to be with her husband Nico who
promptly goes off to war, leaving her to the lustful eyes
of the men and the sharp tongues of the women. During the
next few years, as Renato grows toward manhood, he watches
Malèna suffer and prove her mettle: her loneliness, then grief
when Nico is reported dead, the effects of slander on her
relationship with her father, her poverty and search for work,
and final humiliations. Will Renato learn courage from Malèna
and stand up for her? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}
