The following year, in the American Midwest, he goes to live in a house adjoining his beloved's, separated only by a nefarious vegetable garden. There lives her elderly mother, who hasn't heard from her daughter since the end of the war, leading the man to embark on a tense search for the girl.
“Once again we tackle the 'gothic' genre, in this case not only confirming those places in our region that turned out to be so significant, but expanding for the first part of the story to that rural America that is quite similar to our Emilia-Romagna,“ says director Pupi Avati.
