U.S. Palmese

Overview

In the sweltering heat of Southern Italy, a quiet coastal town harbors a secret as potent as its ancient olive groves. When a celebrated filmmaker returns to his childhood home to unearth a buried truth, he finds himself caught in a slow-burn descent into a mystery that has shaped his family and his community for generations. The sun-drenched beauty of U.S. Palmese belies a darkening undercurrent of unspoken pacts and long-held resentments, where every shadowed alley and whispered conversation hints at a past unwilling to stay buried.
