La ragazza di Rose Hill

An older White Swiss farmer sends an invitation to a beautiful Black woman from a distant nation for the purpose of marriage. He mislead her regarding his age, giving her a photo taken decades prior. She is unhappy upon arrival. The farmer justifies himself, saying, "I didn't lie - that was the only photo I had." (White lie). Since she becomes unresponsive as a wife and as farm help - he hands her an empty dinner plate - representing that she didn't earn anything. Watch this guy gloat as he actually believes he has the moral high ground! So funny and so sad at the same time. The story develops from there with disastrous consequences. There was a price to be paid for the White Lie.
