Haar naam is: Malèna. Deze oogverblindende Italiaanse schoonheid heeft net haar man verloren in de oorlog en is dus alleen. Ook de dertienjarige Renato is helemaal hoteldebotel van haar en doet alles om in haar buurt te zijn. Zijn ouders vrezen dat hun zoon daarbij allerlei zondige gedachten heeft. Daar moeten ze niets van hebben, maar wat ze ook proberen, priesters, exorcisme, prostituees, etc., niets helpt. En dan ... legt Malèna ineens contact met hem. Met alle gevolgen van dien .... Een prachtige film over haat, liefde en verlangen.    Country: NL Released: 08-MAY-2002 by RCV Duration: 88 min.
