Maria, Pinuccia, Lia, Katia and Antonella are five sisters who live in an apartment in Palermo. They make a living by renting doves for ceremonies. On a normal day at the beach, tragedy strucks.
Our read: The Macaluso Sisters (2020) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
