Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 2 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1915: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Lyda is a prostitute with no education and no hope for the future. Unfortunately, this ungrateful job leads her to have an unwanted pregnancy, and once born the child abandons her. Lyda becomes obsessed with the life of her only child.
