Leaving Stra
In 1927, the Italian village of Stra is charged with tension for Maria Zola and her family. Is their home, the renowned Villa Pisani, truly the sanctuary they believe it is? As the encroaching tide of nationalism seeps into their lives and through the walls of their Palladian home, Maria and her three brothers confront the realities behind the imposing oak doors of their father's study. With each passing year, their childhood joy is replaced by the sinister, industrial clouds of Venetian Lagoon Fascism. How will the Zola family navigate their relationships with one another and their place in a changing Italy?
