ITALIA FRANCIA BELGIO

Sinopsi:

As she does every day at sunrise, Angela says goodbye to her 10 year-old son Antò and goes early to work. She catches the bus to reach the fields, together with many other ‘ghosts’ like herself. Today the bus brings the labourers near Bari to pick grapes. When the sun is high, she suddenly feels ill and falls lifeless to the ground. As soon as Giuseppe receives a phone call about his wife’s sudden failure, he takes Antò and they go straight to the hospital. Once there, they find out the sad truth: Angela has died. In front of her dead body, Giuseppe promises his son that one day he will have his beloved mother back. Without any income, they soon fall into poverty and Antò asks his father to go and work at the same farm where his mother died. Now they are ghosts in the same places where Angela was. They go to the farm owner and ask him for a job and a bed, introducing themselves as the husband and son of the woman who died there. At the farm, they meet Rosa, the woman who wore Angela’s hair clip at her funeral and step-by-step, determined to find the truth on Angela’s death, Giuseppe and Antò become aware of the horrible conditions of life at the farm, the use of harmful drugs and rapes on the women, Rosa included. It’s a night of celebration at the manor farm, all the people from Corato are there. Rosa is working in the kitchen, helped by Antò. Giuseppe is wandering in the street and he bumps into the old doctor who certified Angela’s death as well as the death of a woman, who also died while working there. He robs and threatens him. In the meanwhile, the tipsy owner is surprised in the bathroom by Antò. The child aims at him with a hunting rifle and shoots, killing him. Giuseppe arrives behind him, maybe with the same intention. Antò runs toward him, they hug each other. Giuseppe gives himself up to the police, while Antò runs away from the farm with Rosa.
