Respiro (2002, unrated)
Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 7:00 p.m.
This film tells the story of Grazia, a mother of three married to shy fisherman Pietro and living on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Lampedusa. Her free spirit contrasts with the smothering world around her and she shows signs of manic-depressive behavior. When family members vaguely discuss sending her to a facility in the north, she hears the talk and hides in a cave on the shore, where her oldest son, Pasquale, secretly tends to her. Pietry doggedly searches for Grazia but his friends conclude she has drowned. Pietro never gives up the search, however, and the results are miraculous.
