Inviolata, a secluded country estate in the Italian nowhere. Here, the Marquesa Alfonsina de Luna rules her farm workers with a harsh hand. Lazzaro is one of them, a young man so good-natured, tolerant and innocent that he could be mistaken for simple-minded. One day Tancredi comes to Inviolata, son of the Marquesa, who suffers from his mother as much as from the country life. A strange, unequal friendship develops between Tancredi and Lazzaro, the first in Lazzaro's life. The story of Lazarro "is so soothing and optimistic in its outcome that it can no longer be adequately described in words, but must be seen." (artechock.com)
