HAPPY AS LAZZARO
Directed by Alice Rohrwacher DRAMA | ITALY, SWITZERLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY | ITALIAN | ENGLISH & ARABIC SUBTITLES | 125 MINS
Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mistaken for simple-minded, and Tancredi, a young nobleman cursed by his imagination. Life in their isolated pastoral village Inviolata is dominated by the terrible Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of cigarettes. A loyal bond is sealed when Tancredi asks Lazarus to help him orchestrate his own kidnapping. This strange and improbable alliance is a revelation for Lazarus. Lazzaro in search of Tancredi. Lazarus is like a fragment of the past in the modern world.
