Filumena

Filumena

Filumena recounts the tragic tale of Florence Lassandro (Filumena) a young immigrant woman who was forced into a loveless marriage, drawn into a bootlegging scheme by Emilio Picariello, implicated in the murder of a police constable, and sent to the gallows at the age of 22, immediately after Picariello.

To this day no one is sure who fired the fatal shot.
