Sinopse

A tribute to the wisdom and courage of women. In 17th-century Palermo, lawlessness was at full steam. Amidst the pomp of a wealthy establishment, plots were hatched, assassinations were plotted, and hands were bloodied; laws were broken, bribes were paid, favors were distributed; people stole, pillaged, and prostituted themselves without the Viceroy's knowledge. With the Viceroy's sudden death in 1677, his wife, Eleonora de Moura, was appointed to replace him. Determined to defend the law and social justice, the female ruler shared the same period of her just "revolution" as the moon: during the twenty-eight days she remained in power, the Viceroy fought against the government's indignities, accused of complicity with the devil by fanatics instigated by the city's bishop. Between historical reality and felicitous invention, The Revolution of the Moon boasts a high level of vivacity and humor. It's also a tribute to the greatness of women, written by one of the greatest craftsmen of contemporary Italian literature.
