Taglines:

An intimate portrait and an epic story of the courage we discover, the innocence we surrender, and the memories we cherish.....forever.
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.
A world at war. A young man coming of age. And the woman who changed his life forever

Plot Summary:

On the day in 1940 that Italy enters the war, two things happen to the 12-year-old Renato: he gets his first bike, and he gets his first look at MalГѓВЁna, a beautiful, silent outsider who's moved to this Sicilian town to be with her husband Nico who promptly goes off to war, leaving her to the lustful eyes of the men and the sharp tongues of the women. During the next few years, as Renato grows toward manhood, he watches MalГѓВЁna suffer and prove her mettle: her loneliness, then grief when Nico is reported dead, the effects of slander on her relationship with her father, her poverty and search for work, and final humiliations. Will Renato learn courage from MalГѓВЁna and stand up for her?
