Viola di Mare (The Sea Purple), a 2009 Italian production, tells the powerful and moving story of Angela and Sara, two women fighting to live their love in the deeply conservative Sicilian society of the 19th century.
Angela, born into a strict and violent household, defies gender norms and societal expectations to be with Sara. To protect their relationship and survive in a world where their love is forbidden, Angela takes bold steps that challenge the rigid constraints of tradition and patriarchy.
Based on a true story, this evocative tale of courage, transformation, and resilience explores themes of identity, freedom, and the unyielding power of love. A poetic reflection on what it means to stay true to oneself, even in the face of impossible odds.
