SYNOPSIS
image movie

Luisa Magno lives in a small Calabrian village and has always been at war with everything and everyone. She is an atypical southern woman, capable of going against traditional family values, while adapting to her provincial environment. Her days are spent between various odd jobs and time spent with her children and niece. But her obsession is to start furious quarrels with her mother, her brother and especially with her hated sister-in-law, who live in the same building as her. Scenes, shouting, threats and mutual complaints disrupt Luisa’s quiet life, and she comes up with plans to finally get rid of her enemy-parents. She could throw them out with the intervention of the carabinieri, ask criminals for help or even disappear and leave without looking back. Anything is possible with Luisa. This film gives her the opportunity to act out the end of her story, provided she is ready to give up hatred, which seems to be at the center of her life.
