"In 1919 a southern family decimated by war only goes from the rituals of the past and threats of the future. (...) The widowed mother tries to suppress a daughter whose unacknowledged mystical sexual urges take the form of uncontrolled emission of flowers, hailed as a miracle. The ritmo allegramente caotico è movimentato da arguti ed applauditissimi momenti canori da avanspettacolo dialettale”
