In a village in the countryside (60 km from Venice), a group of partisans demands hospitality for some nights, to a family of farmers. The farmers don't want to be involved in their riots. They don't feel any difference towards Partisans, Fascists, Germans or Americans; the war is not their business, it's a metropolitan business. The partisans try to explain that their rebellion has a good cause: to bring democracy and freedom in Italy. The farmers listen to their reasons but don't change their minds, especially the old ones, while the youth has some doubts about it. The poverty has had them exhausted and they dream about escaping from that rural world to enjoy the good things of modernity and the metropolitan life, like Cinema, a train journey, a fragrance ("profumo" in Italian). With the expedient of the fragrance gifted from a partisan to the young daughter of the family, new arguments, new gossips and new envies are born among the neighborhood in the village, that will be fatal for this family. The story develops the contrast between the events of the great history and the ordinary life of the farmers that was regulated by religion and nature. Written by Alessandra Gonnella See less
