Perdutamente tuo... mi firmo Macaluso Carmelo fu Giuseppe
Directed by Vittorio SindoniIn "Hopelessly Yours", the son of a poor Sicilian tenant farmer who committed suicide due to a financial debt to a baron, 35-year-old Carmelo Macaluso returns to the Sicilian city after 15 years as a guest worker in Western Germany. He brings back to Sicily a Mercedes, 100 million Lire in his portfolio and the ambitious plan to gain the respect of the villagers through his financial success in Germany. This is not at all possible for him. Instead, the greedy Sicilians only get jealous. Some of them are plotting to grab his hard-earned assets. Immediately he is surrounded by the men and women of the Church and other institutions wanting him to become a "patron", and especially by women who quickly "fall in love" with him. The charming Baroness Valeria Lamìa is the first of these. They immediately become a couple, but surreptitiously, due to the Baroness's family circumstances. Carmelo wants to marry her. Despite the Baroness's charm, Carmelo is actually more interested in her daughter Jessica, with whom he falls in love as soon as he sees her in her youthful sports attire. Carmelo fantasizes more and more about Jessica. But the Baroness's plans to marry Carmelo are solely aimed at getting his money. Both Valeria's and Carmelo's plans are, however, thwarted. After several devastating blows due to the cunning and ruthless Valeria, Carmelo intends to take revenge upon his audacious enemies in a Sicilian way, but while he now must accept that he has failed in his endeavours, and that Jessica is "hopelessly his", he prompts for a more constructive solution by once again turning his back on his own greedy Sicilian people.
