The Wonders
Drama
Gelsomina’s family works according to some special rules. First of all, Gelsomina, at twelve years of age, is head of the family and her three younger sisters must obey her: sleep when she tells them to and work under her watchful eye. But the world, the outside, mustn’t know anything about their rules, and must be kept away from them. They must learn to disguise themselves.
VIBE
A quiet, sun-drenched Italian countryside frames a young girl's coming-of-age. It's a tender, observational drama about family bonds, unspoken rules, and the bittersweet transition from childhood innocence to the complexities of the adult world.
