The film, Ninfa Plebea is set in a poor village in the south of Italy
during the Second World War. A young girl named Miluzza impulsively leads
a romantic life without distinguishing between good and bad. One day a young
soldier, on his way back home passes through the village and transforming
into a prince charming, marries Miluzza and miraculously brings back her
virginity.
Morricone responds to this screenplay with a charming melodious score that
is both genial and affecting. The music is an affectionate, often nostalgic
portrait of the warm-hearted Miluzza and the small town community and the
surrounding countryside, hot and hazy. Catchy folk dance material is contrasted
with darker material suggesting war is not too distant. Cosy but a tad
repetitive.
