Le postier Passila

Bored in the "big city" and suffering from his relationship with the unfaithful Eliana, the postman Passila accepts a vacant post in Ludovia, in the provinces. From the moment he arrives in what he takes for a sleepy town at the foot of the Tipec volcano, he senses that a strange world has caught him. He meets the inhabitants' unfriendly welcome with stubborn irony, but once he crosses paths with the beautiful Estrella, a vague trap closes around him. His presence as the outsider stirs up rivalries and alliances between the surly hotel keeper, the irascible baker, the nosy taxi driver, the mysterious Doctor Noriega and the ruthless policeman Cortez.
