| Synopsis |
|
Anna, an attractive and rich Italian
woman who lived in the USA for
many years and is now widowed,
decides to return to her home
town in Italy, to see her family
and childhood friends again. Her
arrival in a luxury car is a big
event for the inhabitants of the
little village, who welcome her
warmly. The only person who is
indifferent to her is the town's
locksmith. Anna has warm feelings
for him but decides not to let
him know about this. Rumors spread
in the village that the rich widow
is looking for a husband. Every
single man asks the local priest
for advice and support. The priest
doesn't want to get involved in
the matter, but things become complicated
when he finds out that his nephew,
a nice young man who works for
the locksmith, was seen in Anna's
garden. The nephew confides that
he was not there because of Anna,
but a pretty young woman who lives
in the same house, the locksmith's
sister. The
priest, who has to keep silent, has
to endure the gossip of the village
which claims that he favors his
nephew as Anna's new husband. In
the end, all misunderstandings are
cleared: The nephew marries the
girl he loves and the locksmith
falls in love with Anna and asks
her to marry him. |
