The story
Benedetta is a popular sixteen-year-old and the daughter of the mayor of a small town in Romagna, inland from Rimini. Unhappy with the social role she is expected to play and an ideal of perfection, she begins to change her life after meeting residents of a family home run by the Pope John XXIII Community. They have moved into town during a heated campaign to elect a new mayor. The home brings together a family, a newly arrived asylum seeker, a former prostitute and her young daughter, a very young prisoner, two boys with severe disabilities, and a biological child. Their arrival disrupts the small community’s daily life and challenges its assumptions about people it sees as different.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Benedetta, a popular sixteen-year-old girl, is the daughter of the mayor of a small town in Romagna, inland from Rimini. Forced to conform to a social role she dislikes and to an ideal of perfection that makes her unhappy, she changes her life after meeting the members of a family home run by the Pope John XXIII Community, who have moved into town during the heated election campaign for the new mayor. The family home includes a father and a mother, a newly arrived asylum seeker, a former prostitute with a young daughter, a very young prisoner, two boys with severe disabilities, and a biological child. It turns the daily life of the small community she becomes part of upside down. They will have to come to terms with a marginalized world that is unfamiliar and therefore seemingly threatening, where everyone seems “wrong” or “flawed.”
