This powerful true tale of one boy's struggle out of isolation and silence is perfectly captured on film by the renowned Taviani brothers, Paolo and Vittorio. This was based on the authobiography by Gavino Ledda, who at the age of six (6) was taken from school into the mountains where his father enslaved him as a shephered. Gavino eventually broke free siscovering the outside world and his own identity within it.
A Grand Prize winner at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival, Padre Padrone is an incredible story of persuasive and is "an exhilarating example of filmmaking."
