About

In 1920s Bagheria, Giuseppe 'Peppino' Torrenuova works as a shepherd to financially help his poor family. Over the next fifty years, Giuseppe's life, as well as the life of the village, is observed. Giuseppe grows up, joins the Communist Party, marries a local girl, has children, and forges a political career for himself.

Can one man’s quiet devotion to his family and his convictions outlast the shifting tides of Italian history? This sweeping saga tracks a shepherd's transformation into a political figure through decades of social upheaval and personal triumph.
