Synopsis
The Macaluso Sisters (Le sorelle Macaluso, 2020) is an Italian drama from Emma Dante that you can watch online on iFILM. Five sisters share a cramped apartment on the edge of Palermo with no parents, scraping by renting out doves for weddings and funerals.
Maria, Pinuccia, Lia, Katia and Antonella raise themselves until an ordinary afternoon at the beach turns to tragedy, leaving the family bound by what they never speak about. Dante adapted her own stage play and follows the sisters across three ages — as girls, as grown women, and as old age settles into the same rooms where the plaster keeps peeling. Donatella Finocchiaro leads a cast of mostly unknown Sicilian actresses.
This is slow, tactile cinema where a single apartment has to carry an entire lifetime, and the weight of an absent sister lingers in every frame. It rewards viewers who like unhurried European arthouse drama. Stream The Macaluso Sisters online on iFILM.
