Synopsis
Dans les grands salons d’une ancienne villa marquée par le temps, Anna, touchée par un deuil soudain, passe ses journées dans la solitude. La campagne sicilienne, sauvage et d’une grande beauté, entoure la maison et l’isole tandis que le brouillard se lève lentement sur les flancs de l’Etna. Seuls les pas de Pietro, l’homme à tout faire, rompent le silence. A l’improviste arrive Jeanne, la petite amie de Giuseppe, le fils d’Anna, qu’il a invitée à venir passer quelques jours en Sicile. Anna ignorait l’existence de Jeanne et Giuseppe est absent. Il va revenir bientôt, très bientôt..... c’est ce que dit Anna à Jeanne. Les jours passent, les deux femmes apprennent lentement à se connaître et attendent ensemble le jour de Pâques, où Giuseppe rentrera pour la procession.Actors

Cantor Rabinowitz wants his son to carry on the generations-old family tradition and become a cantor at the synagogue in the Jewish ghetto of Manhattan's Lower East Side. But down at the beer garden, thirteen-year-old Jakie Rabinowitz is performing so-called jazz tunes. Moisha Yudelson spots the boy and tells Jakie's father, who drags him home. Jakie clings to his mother, Sara, as his father declares, "I'll teach him better than to debase the voice God gave him!" Jakie threatens: "If you whip me again, I'll run away — and never come back!" After the whipping, Jakie kisses his mother goodbye and, true to his word, runs away. At the Yom Kippur service, Rabinowitz mournfully tells a fellow celebrant, "My son was to stand at my side and sing tonight – but now I have no son." As the sacred Kol Nidre is sung, Jakie sneaks back home to retrieve a picture of his loving mother.
