“The Italian Girls” is the story of two young sisters from a village in Oltenia, a historical province in South-Western Romania, who leave home to work in Spain, as illegal strawberry pickers. After one year, they return home with a victorious smile and a western attitude, telling everyone how they found a job not in Spain, but in Italy… The truth is very different.
