Originals

The ironic tale of a 12-year-old Sicilian girl who decides to show her independence by flouting convention, in this case by wearing trousers and flirting with boys. When she is caught kissing, the parents punish her by sending her to another village to live with an uncle, unaware he molested her when she was younger.
