Witn the participation of Antica Compagnia Opera dei Pupi – Famiglia Puglisi

Ignazio Puglisi, one of the most important puppeteer of the Sicilian tradition arrived in Sortino, a little town near Syracuse after a wandering life. Puglisi narrated to many generation of Sicilian people the stories of french paladins, their loves, betrayals and struggles and he is now considered one of the best representative of the "Opra dei pupi" in Sicily. The documentary film narrates the atmosphere and the remembrances of an age in which there weren't cinema and television and the pupi theatre was the only form of entertainment. Using images, original sound documents, critics and memories of people who knew the pupetteer, the film tells the suggestion of a lost world and the charm of an art that still survive.
