La mazurka del barone, della santa e del fico fiorone (lit.'The Mazurka of the Baron, the Saint and the Early Fig Tree') is a 1975 Italian black comedy film co-written and directed by Pupi Avati.[3] It is considered one of the most atypical commedia all'italiana films.[4] The film marked Avati's return to filmmaking after a six-year absence, during which he worked as director of TV commercials.[5]

Plot

Baron Anteo Pellacani returns to the family estate to assume the rights of the heir. In the garden adjacent to the old mansion, there is a fig tree, which, according to legend, has miraculous properties. Moreover, some even managed to see the Holy Virgin after they touched the tree. But the baron has his own memories: he fell from this magical tree at a young age and injured his leg so badly that he remained lame for life. And now he has to face the hated tree again...
