FORGOT YOUR DETAILS?

SHE WOLF a film by Gabriele Lavia

She was tall, dark-haired and thin, but her breasts were firm and voluptuous, even though she was no longer young. She was pale as if suffering from malaria and in that strange pallor were two huge eyes and fresh red lips. In the village they called her She-wolf because she could never get enough of anything. Although she was a curse for the whole village, husbands and sons were obsessed by her and would sacrifice their families just for her attention. Maricchia, a sweet and obedient girl, was left in isolation, just because she was the daughter of the She-wolf. But a day came when the she-wolf fell obsessively in love with Nanni, a young and handsome boy who had just returned from his military services. The she-wolf watched him day after day, harvesting the wheat in the fields under the burning sun and she yearned for him to look at her. The boy seemed insensible to her raving looks but one evening , she told him she wanted him. 'But I want your daughter, who is young and unmarried' he replied laughing. Time passed and the she-wolf trapped by her love for Nanni came to a desperate solution. She dradged her daughter to the olive press were Nanni was working and offered him her house and all her things as dowry if he took Maricchia as his wife: Nanni accepted the proposal. The she-wolf however would live with them. The-wolf wasn't seen around in the village and people thought she was ill. Her burning desire for her son-in-law did not abate and her obsession for him became worse. She would wake him at dawn, stand before him with her imposing breasts and Nanni, half-asleep would stretch out his arms searching for her body. She would then follow him everywhere, in the fields, to the oil-press into the stables and he couldn't refuse her because now they were both consumed by this forbidden and insatiable passion. It was too much for Maricchia. She wept day and night and nothing she said would make her mother give up her relationship even though Maricchia had given birth to his child. But one day Maricchia decided to go to the village authorities to denounce them both. Her husband denied nothing and he realised in despair that the mother would destroy them all if he could not give her up. But the she-wolf refused to leave the house, it was still her home and she continued to tempt him. But one day, Nanni was fatally kicked by a mule and the priest refused to give him Extreme Unction unless the mother would leave the house so she realised she had leave the boy so he would be able to make his confession. Amazingly Nanni recovered with Maricchia's care and life seemed to have returned normal until the She-wolf reappeared. Now, the whole village knew about her obsession for Nanni and he had to reject her totally to save his soul and mind and in spite of constant prayer he could not forget her obsessive love. Even though he said he would kill her if she didn't leave him alone, it seemed to make no difference as she said she would rather die than live without him. It could only end in tragedy...
