This is a simple story about a teenage boy (Giuseppe Sulfaro) coming of age in a small Sicilian town during WWII dives into his obsession and eventual love and respect for the town's most beautiful woman, Malena (Monica Bellucci). Throughout the movie since the beginning till the near end, he stalks her, dreams of her, fantasizes romantic scenes with her, and ultimately learns of her true human nature and falls in love with her.
Renato even tries to protect her when she becomes vulnerable and lonely. It shows how a teenager learns the first lessons on falling in love and despite lusting after Malena initially like every male in the Italian town, she indirectly teaches him the value of love and humanity when times get bad during the latter days of WWII.
Monica Bellucci had to learn Sicilian for the role, a dialect that is noticeably different from her native Italian.
