Happy As Lazzaro (Lazzaro felice)
In the tiny Italian village of Inviolata, landholder Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna (Nicoletta Braschi) mercilessly exploits labourers, forcing them to work long hours for little pay in order to keep a roof over their heads. Among these slave workers is a reserved, wide-eyed innocent called Lazzaro (Adriano Tardiolo), who is happy to run around for his comrades, buoying their spirits with his kindness. A young nobleman called Tancredi (Luca Chikovani), who is embarrassed by the actions of his family, gravitates towards Lazzaro. He hatches a hare-brained scheme to fake his own kidnapping. Lazzaro agrees to participate, blind to the tragic consequences of his actions.
