An Italian classic about rural poverty will be shown Feb. 5 to 8 at Cinestudio in Hartford.
“Tree of Wooden Clogs” tells the story of four farming families living in the Italian countryside during the turn of the 20th century. All are poor and must turn over a majority of their farms’ output to their landlord. One of the patriarchs makes a decision that will have a lasting impact on his family.
