Purple Sea


On an imaginary island off 19th-century Sicily, twenty-five year old Angela finds herself in love with Sara and she decides to ride out the scandal of her homosexuality by disguising herself as a man.

When Angela refuses to go through with an arranged marriage, her father locks her down in a cave.

She is eventually saved by a scheme her mother cooks up: she convinces the curate to change Angela's name and sex on her birth certificate.

And that is how Angela turns into Angelo, sporting a cap and a cigar and giving the appearance of a picture perfect
