As unique as the paradise she lived in.

Welcome to Lampedusa, a Mediterranean island paradise as mysterious as it is beautiful, a tropical heaven where ocean waves pound deep mysterious caverns into the rocky seaside cliffs and the emerald-blue sky is rivaled only by the crystal-clear water below. Valeria Golino (Frida, Rain Man, Immortal Beloved) is Grazia, a carefree mother of three who soon becomes the focus of her neighbors' gossip.

While her fellow Lampedusians work and live hard-oblivious to their native paradise-Grazia alone is courageous enough to blissfully embrace life's treasures. Her wild, sensual and free-spirited behavior reflects the unrivaled beauty of her heavenly seaside village. Will she drive her friends and neighbors crazy or draw them into her topsy-turvy, wonderful world?

Winner of the Critics Week Grand Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, director Emanuele Crialese's (Once We Were Strangers, Heartless) Respiro is destined to win the hearts of movie lovers across the globe.
