Plot summary

Set in 1940 during World War II just as Italy enters the war, Malena's husband Nico leaves to serve in the war. Malena feels sadness for his decision and tries to deal with her loss just as the town she just moved to tries to deal with this beautiful woman who gets the attention and lustful stares of all the local men, including the 12-year-old Renato. Malena, the silent, distractingly beautiful outsider, learns one day that her husband is killed at war and this news only deepens her grief. Renato continues to watch as she suffers through loneliness, grief, being shunned by the townspeople and the negative attention she gets from the jealous ladies of the Italian village. As Renato matures into a young man, he gains the courage to confront her about his love for her. They eventually meet and do make love. 1940 was a leap year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...
