Little Tornadoes

Synopsis

Leo is a metal worker in a factory in his small town. After the disappearance of his wife, who leaves him to care for his two young children, he finds himself destitute, barely able to cook a decent meal or keep the house running. So, when a newly arrived Italian colleague suggests that his sister, Maria, act as a substitute housekeeper, Leo reluctantly agrees. But can the warm, loving presence of one woman fill the void left by another, and can Leo give in to the change? Little Tornadoes is a portrait of a country at a turning point and the human desire for connection.
