TWO WOMEN

TWO WOMEN tells the story of a young widow, Cesira (Sophia Loren) and her 12 year old daughter who flee war-ravaged Rome to Cesira’s native village in Ciociaria. Yet, as the allied forces push back the German occupation, the two women fall victim to a devastatingly brutal act at the very hand of the country’s liberators. TWO WOMEN is a magnificent and compassionate depiction of a country at war, directed by Vittorio De Sica (Umberto D., Marriage Italian Style) with powerful performances from Sophia Loren (A Special Day, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow) and Jean Paul Belmondo.
