The idyllic livelihood of Inviolata (Italy) is dominated by the “Queen of the Cigarettes”, the Alfonsina de Luna marquis, the owner of a tobacco plantation, where Lazzaro, a naïve young man on the way, trudges. Considered often mentally reduced by consciences, Lazzaro is married to Tancredi, the grandson of the marchis, a noble young man endowed with an extremely rich imagination who wants to enslave his abduction.

Things get complicated when the police arrive, discovering an extremely important thing about the slave community of Inviolata.

Italian Lazarus Allegor Felicia / Happy as Lazarus of director Alice Rohrwacher, a film as an inventory of our disease, was awarded the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
