Raging Island... Raging Passions!

Drama

After the end of WWII, a young Lithuanian woman and a young Italian man from Stromboli impulsively marry, but married life on the island is more demanding than she can accept.

VIBE

A stark, neorealist drama that feels as raw and unforgiving as the volcanic island it depicts. It's a slow, oppressive burn, exploring disillusionment and the crushing weight of isolation against a backdrop of naturalistic beauty.
