  • LIVES of the SAINTS Synopsis
    LIVES OF THE SAINTS Synopsis “Where pride is, the snake goes,” Italian proverb Adultery, the evil eye, and a snakebite are the circumstances that shape the childhood of Vittorio Innocente in the small village of Valle De Sole in a society dominated by religion and superstition. LIVES OF THE SAINTS begins in an Italy almost unchanged since the beginning of the last century—moving across time from the horrors of wartime Italy to the swinging counterculture that dominated Toronto in the late 60’s. This “intimate epic” travels from the sun-drenched Mediterranean to the frozen Arctic, to the flatlands of rural Ontario and finally back to the isolated hilltop village of Valle del Sole, Italy (Valley of the Sun), 20 years later in a story suffused with mystery, and betrayal. Who will pay for the sins and secrets of the family past? Vittorio’s turbulent childhood revolves around his love for his mother, Cristina, (whose husband Mario, has emigrated to Canada) but is informed by his Aunt Teresa (Sophia Loren). Also the village schoolteacher, she is his disciplinarian and his moral guide. To enhance his lessons, she uses stories from a religious picture book Lives of the Saints which she gives him 1 as a gift when he leaves Valle De Sole with his mother for the hope of a new and better life in Canada. A widow, Teresa is the glue that holds the family together while Cristina (Sabrina Ferilli), an independent spirit, is strong-willed and fiery. The village is full of whispers when Cristina is bitten in the barn by a poisonous snake.

He returns triumphant having just got his big break: the lead in a new film by the ‘it’ American director, starring opposite the international sensation Vanessa Luna. And to top it off, it is shooting in his hometown. Mario, owner of “Il Gatto Nero” – the place to be in the heart of Little Italy - is throwing a small after-hours party to celebrate the success of the immigrant kid made good. Lots of wine and Italian food is on the menu. The guest list is a cross-section of Italian Immigrant life: Leo, the contractor who just found out his wife’s cheating on him; Frankie, who published a tell-all novel about the community; Alberto, whose family runs the multicultural radio & television network; Eddie who just had his restaurant foreclosed; Bruno who left a life in the mob to become a chef; Michael, a desperate salesman who just might be the guy screwing Leo’s wife. And Vince, an aging film director recovering from heart surgery and – through the manipulations of Vanessa Luna – is offered the chance to finally make his dream movie. Over the course of the evening and into the night, buried emotions erupt and old wounds bleed again.
