The Girl From Tomorrow
It’s 1965 and Lia, a spirited young woman living in a small Sicilian town, is initially attracted to Lorenzo, the son of the most prominent (and possibly Mafia-tied) local family. His possessiveness eventually repels her. But soon after, he appears with his cronies to kidnap, rape and force her into a shotgun marriage, all with the collusion of the town’s authorities. Lia and her family refuse to accept this barbaric ‘tradition’ and, despite the constant intimidation and violence, they take their fight for Lia’s rights to court.
This harrowing, defiant drama immerses you in a tense, infuriating struggle against patriarchal tradition and systemic corruption. It's a steady, resilient watch, evoking a powerful sense of injustice and the quiet, unwavering courage of those who dare to fight for their rights.
