Madonnas

Taranto Vecchia is an island in southern Italy where global and personal structures converge as if under a magnifying glass. In Madonnas, we discover this world through the eyes of 13-year-old Marta. She is growing up between her serious, pious mother and her deeply spiritual grandparents. When her free-spirited aunt comes to visit, new dimensions open up for the young girl. Her innocent gaze forces us to recognize the cruelty of the injustices to which we have become so easily accustomed.
