From Luchino Visconti - the master director of such classics as La Terra Trema, Bellissima, and The Leopard - comes this epic study of family, sex, and betrayal.
A widow, Rosaria, moves to the metropolis that is Milano from Lucania - Italy's rural south - with her 4 sons
one of whom is Rocco. The shock of the new is violent and immediate. A mother meddles. A whore beguiles. Brother faces brother.
