Franco Elica, a film director, slides into despair after his daughter marries a devoted catholic. When he is asked, to his horror, to make yet another version of Alessandro Manzoni’s “The Betrothed” he flees to Sicily.
Hiding out in a small village he meets a host of colorful characters; a man who makes his living shooting souvenir wedding films, a film director who is faking his own death to finally achieve the fame that eluded him all his
life and the cultured nobleman Prince Ferdinando Gravina di Palagonia.
