The Story:
In the rugged coastal town of post-war Italy, honest fisherman Corrado Anselmi (Otello Toso) sells his beloved motopeschereccio to the shady Gaetano to escape crushing debts, only to find his loyal wife Maria (Maria Grazia Francia) and young son Luciano (Mirko Ellis) entangled in the web of local usury, watched over by the meddlesome Assunta (Tina Pica).
Driven to desperation, Corrado confronts the ruthless usurer, his rage erupting in a fatal confrontation that sees him empty the safe and flee into the night, but the weight of betrayal and bloodshed shatters his family, forcing Maria to choose between loyalty and survival amid whispers of remorse.
A haunting tale of redemption’s fragile grasp, where the sea’s unforgiving waves mirror the turmoil of the soul, Rimorso sweeps you into 1952’s raw drama of sin and salvation, directed by Armando Grottini in his electrifying debut.
