Malena
Malèna
She was too young to be a widow, and too beautiful to be alone. Every man wanted to have her. One boy risked everything to protect her.
Malèna is about the peril of a beauty through the eyes of a 12 year old kid named Renato. He experiences three things on the same day, beginning of war, getting a bike and sees the arrival of Malèna in town. Through his eyes, we see the curse of beauty and loneliness of Malena, whose husband is presumed to be dead, and through his soul we see his undying love for her.
