SOTTOVOCE

A young widow and other women – in a village in the Abruzzo region (Italy) – tell the story of their love affairs. The Baron of Corvo de Corvis, a legendary character resuscitated for the purpose of this film, rummages about the streets of the hamlet, accompanied by a talking raven. His mind is set on restoring the ‘Prima Nocta’ right, but he falls in love with Gigliola, the young widow.
