- Summary:
- "Young Vittorio Innocente is the papmered son of Cristina, a woman whose husband has left Italy for work in North America. Beneath her placid surface, Cristina yearns to escape the restrictive village; and, one day, Vittorio is startled to find her in the family's stable, her ankle swelling from a snakebite. But what really happened to Cristina that day becomes the center of this tale - a story of passion and superstitution beneath pastoral calm, a mother's secret life witnessed by a child."
