Once Upon A Time In Vigata DVD

From the pen of Andrea Camilleri (Montalbano)

THE HORSE MOVE Montelusa, 1877. Giovanni Bovara is the new chief inspector of the mills, in charge of enforcing the tax on the ground. He is treated with disdain by suspicious locals. He discovers the existence of a clandestine mill and an ingenious system by which the millers are left free to evade the proscribed tax. This is only a beginning, his investigations end up ending up involving something much bigger than he could have expected.
THE TELEPHONE CONCESSION The Telephone Concession is a comedy of misunderstandings with surreal implications, set at the end of the nineteenth century in Vigta, the fictional town where the Andrea Camilleri set all his novels, up to the adventures of Inspector Montalbano. The simple request to activate a telephone line, advanced by Mr. Genuardi, triggers a chain of misunderstandings and cheating that becomes a metaphor for an existential condition. This is vintage Sicilian wit and humour wrapped in a historical tale.
THE HUNTING SEASON The hunting season tells the story of a pharmacist, Alfonso La Matina or Fof to his friends, who arrives in Vigata in 1880. Sicily is still the scene of clashes between the Savoy and the brigands. In the turmoil of the socio-political climate Fof decided to return home to open his pharmacy after studying internationally. Coinciding with his return, however, strange events begin to occur - sudden and inexplicable deaths, in which the Peluso, the most powerful family of Vigata, are certainly involved, but which also suggest a responsibility of the recent pharmacist. A complicated tale, typical of the master Camilleri.
