Martin Eden
Pietro Marcello, Italy, France, Germany, 2019o
When unskilled laborer Martin Eden meets Elena, the daughter of a wealthy industrial family, it’s love at first sight. The well-educated, refined young woman soon becomes an obsession for Martin who hopes that his dreams of becoming a writer will help him rise above his humble origins to be able to marry Elena. Finding support in an older left-wing intellectual, Martin soon gets involved in socialist circles, leading to a conflict with Elena and her bourgeois world.
