Malena
Malèna is about the peril of a beauty through the eyes of a 12 year old
kid named Renato. He experiences three things on the same day, beginning
of war, getting a bike and sees the arrival of Malèna in town. Through
his eyes, we see the curse of beauty and loneliness of Malena, whose
husband is presumed to be dead, and through his soul we see his love for
her.
