- Synopsis
- Padre Padrone is the intense and powerful tale of a young, barely literate shepherd boy, who lives under the thumb of his tyrannical and brutal peasant father.

A landmark Italian film directed by the Taviani brothers in 1979, the story was based on an autobiographical book by Gavino Ledda.
