Tagline: A world at war. A young man coming of age. And the woman who changed his life forever
Plot: Malena is the most ravishing and irresistible beauty in Castelcuto, a sleepy village on the sunny Sicilian shore. She's new in town and with her husband away at war, every stroll she takes through town turns into a spectacle, accompanied by the lustful looks of the townsmen and the resentful gossip of their envious wives. An army of skinny teens on bicycles follows her everywhere just to stare at her exquisite, archetypal beauty. But among those boys is Renato Amoroso, an imaginative 13-year old who takes his desire to unexpected heights of obsessive fantasy.Fueled by his dreams of cinematic romance, Renato Amoroso becomes Malena's secret shadow, a spy of love following closely her every sensuous move. The smallest moments in her life are perceived with a boy's highly charged eroticism. Even as his parents comically attempt to thwart his "sinful," "unhealthy" behavior — boarding up his windows, taking him to a priest, then an exorcist, then a prostitute — Renato maintains his vigilant, voyeuristic watch over Malena. He watches as her fortunes take a dark turn, as Malena becomes a young widow, and then becomes the dangerous object of the town's pent-up lust, jealousy and anger — the very eye of an emotional, erotic storm that sweeps across
