Respiro Movie Synopsis
Grazia is the affectionate, young mother of three children – a teenaged girl, Marinella, and two boys, Psquale and Filippo, living on Lampedusa, an island near western Sicily. Vibrant and full of life, Grazia often sings along to the latest hit by Italian pop star Patti Pravo and enjoys finding ways to amuse herself and her children. But Grazia, much like the sea surrounding her island, can also be unpredictable and stormy. Her free-spirited attitude causes talk in the entire village. Grazia’s husband, Pietro, lovingly stands by her in the face of small town gossip. But as Grazia’s behavior becomes more reckless, even the powerful shield of her family’s love can’t protect her.
Definitely not the average, low quality, Hollywood type of movie. This is art, folks. I thanked God for this movie. Moviere
I liked seeing the family life in this movie.
I liked it. Very beautiful...made you feel as if you lived where they lived, breathed the same air, and felt the same pain as they did. Great enviroment and cinematography...
