In Sicily during the 1800s, as the aristocracy finds itself challenged
by new democratic fervor, Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina, tries
to hold on tightly to the past, but it is clear his glory days are
waning.  This is perfectly exemplified by his dashing nephew Tancredi
Falconeri and Angelica Sedàra, his gorgeous bride-to-be.  As the revolt
gathers steam and begins to result in real change, the aging prince must
come to terms with the new world encircling him.
