La ragazza del futuro

With an introduction by Gertjan Vincent van Dante Alighieri Rotterdam. Lia is a young woman who does not feel at home in Sicily in the sixties with its ancient customs. When one evening a good friend forces her to have sex, she must marry according to the prevailing morality to save her honor. A cruel, misogynistic tradition, which still seems unshakeable in Sicily in the mid-sixties. She does not accept this and for the first time in Italian history, a woman defies social expectations and fights for self-determination. An aesthetic Italian drama based on a true story, which sketches a patriarchal and oppressive existence. Marta Savina knows how to powerfully convey the courage of the main character Lia and shows how individual perseverance can lead to great changes.
