Sumario: | The protagonist of the film Capri – Revolution by Mario Martone is Lucia, a young woman who moves from adolescence to early maturity, going through a disparate series of experiences. We are in Capri, on the eve of the First World War. Lucia is grazing her goats in the most inaccessible places of the island, when she discovers a community of experimental artists who live in an abandoned village and adopt a completely different lifestyle than traditional customs, as well as a religiosity based on a return to nature. Her contact with the community of artists produces very rapid and too showy changes in her. More than a chronicle of real events, the film resembles an apologue on the transformations that the Italian people were to go through during the 20th century.
