ORIGINAL TITLE
Il quieto vivere

Mining decades-long conflicts within his own family to analyze the ties that bind in a small Calabrian village, Gianluca Matarrese boldly melds high-tension documentary and expressive fiction in this tale of enmity between Luisa and Imma, two sisters-in-law with a mutual axe to grind (to say the least). Matarrese delves into the history underlying these two women’s longstanding feud and arrives at a tragicomic, inventive meditation on the metaphysical possibility of reconciliation and forgiveness.
