A STREET IN PALERMO

VIA CASTELLANA BANDIERA

By Emma DANTE

Drama - Completed 2013

Shut inside their cars, two women confront each other in a silent duel consumed within the intimate violence of their glances. More obstinate than the sun of Palermo and of the men surrounding them; as in any duel, it is a question of life or death.

- Synopsis
- It’s a Sunday afternoon. The sirocco wind blows pitilessly upon Palermo when Rosa and Clara, two women arriving to celebrate a friend’s wedding, get lost among the city streets and end up in a sort of cul-de-sac: Via Castellana Bandiera. At the same moment, another car driven by Samira, in which the Calafiore family is amassed, arrives in the opposite direction and enters the same street.
  Neither Rosa, nor Samira, an ancient and stubborn woman, intend to give way to each other.
