In a village of the Po valley where the earth is hard and life miserly, the priest and the communist mayor are always fighting to be the head of the community. If in secret, they admired and liked each other, politics still divided them as it is dividing the country. And when the mayor wants his "People's House"; the priest wants his "Garden City" for the poor. Division exist between the richest and the poorest, the pious and the atheists and even between lovers. But if the people are hard as the country, they are good in the bottom of there heart.

VIBE

A charmingly old-fashioned slice of Italian life. It feels like settling into a cozy village square, where witty banter and good-hearted rivalries unfold under a warm, sun-drenched sky. A gentle, character-focused comedy with a nostalgic glow.
