Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The film begins in the 1920's, in the Sicilian town of Bagheria (a.k.a. Baaria) where Giuseppe "Peppino" Torrenuova works as a shepherd to financially help his poor family. Over the next 50 years Giuseppe's life, as well as the life of the village, is observed. Giuseppe grows up, joins the Communist Party, marries a local girl (Mannina), has children and forges a political career for himself. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Baarìa is the Sicilian name of Bagheria, a small town close to Palermo where Tornatore, the film director, was born and grew up. Most of the scenes were shot in Bagheria, however, others were shot on a massive set in Tunisia, where part of the Sicilian town was reconstructed according to the urban aspect the city had in the early 1900s.
