Italian-born Monica Belucci has worked in Europe for the past decade, and is now getting known in the United States for her movie "Malena"

In this tape, Monica Bellucci says that :

The story is about a woman who ... is left alone in this small village where everything, and everyone, is run by men. So she's confronted with this male-dominated society, where all the men desire her as an object -- as an animal -- except this young boy who's in love with her and wants to protect her from all the terrible things that happen to her during and after the war.
