Official Synopsis - "Captain Corelli's Mandolin"
"Captain Corelli's Mandolin" traces the love story that begins uneasily between a conscripted officer of the occupying Italian Army, Captain Antonio Corelli (Nicolas Cage), and Pelagia, a strong-willed, ambitious young Cephallopian, played by Penelope Cruz. When Corelli and his company of men arrive on the unspoiled island, they think of their stay as a kind of Grecian holiday, with the war a distant radio dispatch. At first Pelagia and the other villagers resent these uninvited guests, but ultimately, the Italian's charm and passion for life wear away the divisions of nationality and circumstance. Pelagia comes to see Corelli for the man he is: full of love for life, for his music, and for her.
