Ballo a Tre Passi
Salvatore Mereu

The film narrates four stories, inseparable from the Sardinian life. Spring: four young kids go to the sea for the first time. Summer: a shepherd meets with a young girl whose plane has just landed on the beach. Autumn: a nun returns to the village where she was born for her cousin's marriage and amidst the joy is made aware of her own misery. Winter: An elderly man goes all over the city at night, in search of a prostitute.
