The latest Italian drama in 2011, the director's biweekly unit at the Cannes Film Festival and the Special jury Award at the Essen Film Festival, the film records the inner struggle of a little girl, 13-year-old Marta, who lives deep in southern Italy. She has been in Switzerland for 10 years and is now trying to adapt to life back in Italy. With bright big eyes, she often feels uneasy and scared. She feels the city with all her senses-she sees, she listens, she feels-but she feels like an outsider. Marta is about to hold her own baptism in the local Catholic church. According to the Catholic doctrine, Mata must know the contents of the catechism and abide by it as her own code of conduct. But at this juncture, Marta clashed with her mother, sister and school teacher. After going through something, she decided to cut her hair and start a new life. From this moment on, Marta felt that she had really "lived" once she returned to Italy. In a word, the only mistake the director really made was ignoring the protagonist's point of view and character. But if you put the film.
