Plot

Immacolata (Redgrave) is a peasant girl and mistress of the count, but when he turns his attentions back to his wife he has Immacolata committed to a mental asylum. 'La Vacanza' is her one-month experimental leave from the institution. She is rejected by her family and subsequently finds new friends in the form of gypsies and an Englishman. But their happiness is blighted by criminal actions and a fight for freedom.[1]

Cast

gollark: I can provide a brief summary I guess.
gollark: Religion informs people's actions. *It is relevant*.
gollark: Also, opportunity cost.
gollark: The main issue is that the Judeo-Christian god is but a single point in the infinite (or very big) space of *possible* gods.
