Cainà (1922)
Cainá is a young peasant who lives in a small village in Sardinia together with her goats and parents. She is a wild and free spirit and unconventional for any small and closed communities dominated by old rules. Cainà yearns to escape from such a closed atmosphere and the isolated island; When a boat arrives to the island, she will do her best to flee away from her little oppressing village and experience new adventures in the continent with the help of the boat captain.

This was a spirited Italian tragedy. A restless island girl goes on a adventure away from her trapped culture, only to find out life is not so free on main land either. And what at first seems like a liberation sets off a series of unfortunate events which eventually leads to the destruction of her entire family.... So to put it mildly, quite a sad story. And this was well captured by Gennaro Righelli with Maria Jacobini as the girl really giving a quality performance.
