The Midwife

A STORY OF COURAGE, REDEMPTION AND FREEDOM
Malena has become a point of reference in Norolani, because she is a midwife with deep knowledge of tradition and offers her services free of charge to the women of the village.
But everything collapses in September 1917, when her husband returns from the front, wounded in body and soul. Malena then insistently asks the Authorities for the due payment for her work, but they turn a deaf ear. And as if that wasn't enough, a young certified midwife, Angelica Ferrari, arrives in the village to replace her.
Malena and Angelica should be rivals, but they are two sides of the same coin: free and independent, but victims of the injustice that the world reserves for women. When the ghosts of Malena's past return threateningly, the entire community of Norolani unites to demand justice.
A moving story of female strength and solidarity that unfolds through the language, scents and harshness of everyday life in Sardinia at the beginning of the 20th century.
