Happy as Lazzaro
Lazzaro felice
Alice Rohrwacher

The tale of a meeting between Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mistaken for simple-minded, and Tancredi, a young nobleman cursed by his imagination. Life in their isolated pastoral village Inviolata is dominated by the terrible Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of cigarettes. A loyal bond is sealed when Tancredi asks Lazzaro to help him orchestrate his own kidnapping.

 

C’est l’histoire d’une rencontre entre Lazzaro, un jeune paysan si bon qu’on le croit simple d’esprit, et Tancredi, un jeune noble arrogant qui s’ennuie à l’Inviolata, un hameau resté à l’écart du monde sur lequel règne la marquise Alfonsina de Luna. Leur amitié se scelle quand Tancredi, par jeu, organise son propre enlèvement et demande son aide à Lazzaro.

 

تدور القصّة حول لقاء بين "لازارو"، فلّاح شاب طيب القلب لدرجة اعتباره غبيّاً، و"تنكريدي"، شاب نبيل له حظّ عاثر بمخيلته الخصبة. ترزح الحياة في قريتهما المعزولة "إنفيولاتا" تحت هيمنة ملكة السجائر البغيضة "مارتشيزا ألفونسينا دي لونا". فتجمع الطرفَين علاقةٌ قوية ورابط وفاء عندما يطلب "تنكريدي" من "لازارو" أن يساعده على ترتيب عملية اختطافه.
