Fiorile (1993) is a movie about a family curse caused by greed.

Directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani

The title Fiorile allegedly is derived from the month of Floréal (April-May) in the French Republican Calendar. The film is also known as Wild Flower.

While travelling to visit their grandfather, two children are told the story of a family curse that has lasted two hundred years. During Napoleon's Italian invasion, Elisabetta Benedetti fell in love with French soldier Jean - but while Jean was distracted, Elisabetta's brother Corrado stole some gold that Jean was guarding, and set the curse in train. The Benedettis become wealthy, corrupt and hated by their former friends, who rename them the Maledettis - the cursed. The childrens' grandfather Massimo is the last man to be directly affected by the curse - but will he pass it onto them? Written by Michael Brooke
