Ballad Of a Broken Heart

By Sabrina Galanis

"I remember..."

On the backdrop of postwar Italy, tragedy pushes young Angela into the arms of adulthood too soon. Born poor and grown poorer, she will do anything to satisfy the imperative of her rural life: survive, no matter the cost. But as the world around her keeps changing, putting things into perspective and demanding more sacrifices from her at the same time, she begins to wonder about everything: her life, her family, her songs. And it all comes back in pieces.
A tale of love and remembrance, an exploration of memory and aging, and a dispassionate portrait of the life of working-class women in 1950s Italy, far beyond the stereotypes of the Bel Paese.
