starring Philippe Noiret Michele Placido
Vittorio Mezzogiorno
The death of their mother brings Rocco, Nicola and Raffaele back to the primitive southern France they left to lead their own private lives. As they wait for the funeral the brothers remember the bonds of their youth and try fruitlessly to convey to each other their present hopes and fears. Only their lonely, desolate father and h'is 8-year-old granddaughter find a measure of peace and understanding at this stony family reunion.
