Plot


The film is set in the winter between 1943 and 1944 in the Apennines. Eight-year-old Martina lives with her parents and a large peasant family, who toil every day to survive. Since the death of her younger brother Martina has stopped talking, and this makes her the object of her peers' ridicule, however her observations are profound. World War II arrives, with the increasingly intrusive presence of German soldiers and squads of partisans. Martina's mother Lena becomes pregnant and Martina carefully follows the nine months of gestation, while the war intersects with everyday life: laundry, woven baskets in the stable, slaughter of the pig, flirtations of young people, first communion.

Martina's little brother is born at home at the end of September 1944. At daybreak the SS, supported by units of German soldiers, arrive in the hills. They carry out a ferocious roundup, to be remembered as the "Marzabotto massacre": old people, women and children are murdered after they are herded into cemeteries, churches and farmhouses. Martina, who had managed to escape, is discovered and locked up in the small church of Cerpiano together with dozens of others. After closing the doors, the soldiers carry out a massacre.

Martina is miraculously unharmed and returns home, finding only empty rooms and silence: she takes the basket with her brother, whom she had hidden inside a refuge in the woods, and takes refuge in the rectory of Don Fornasini. After the massacre is complete, she returns to the family cottage, where she cares for her brother by singing a lullaby, regaining her speech.


Production


The film was shot in Radicondoli, in the province of Siena, and in Monte San Pietro, in the province of Bologna, with a budget of 3 million euros[1] and with the support of Rai Cinema and the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities.


Reality and fiction


The director studied extensively before making the film, especially at the Parri Institute (Institute for the history and memories of the 20th century, Bologna). Peasant life is presented with realism and richness of detail. The credits state that the characters and the events of the film are fictionAl, while the historical background (the massacre of Monte Sole/Marzabotto) is real. Some characters featured in the film existed:
