Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Padre Padrone is a 1977 film by Vittorio and Paolo Taviani. The English title might be "Father and Master" though it is frequently untranslated.It is set in the village of Siligo in Sardinia, and focuses on the Ledda family, particularly the domineering father and his sensitive son, Gavino. Life is very harsh there and the father exploits his little son. First he takes Gavino from school at the age of six to be a shepherd. When the boy tries to run away, his father beats him brutally.Years pass, and Gavino becomes a man in his early twenties, still completely subdued to his father. To quit the farm he first unsuccessfully tries to become a guest worker in Germany, but his father doesn't give permission and Gavino has to come home. Later he enlists in the Italian army and becomes educated, not only learning to read but showing a talent for languages. On his return from the army he finally stands up to his father.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The film won the Palme d'Or in 1977.

Book-Ends: The film starts with the real Gavino Ledda basically introducing the story, and the actor who plays his father, then we see the first scene in which the father pulls 6-year-old Gavino out of school. It ends with the return of the real Gavino Ledda, who talks about how he went to university and became a scholar of languages before writing his autobiography. Then the first scene plays again, right before the film ends.

Abusive Parents: Up to Eleven with Gavino's father. However the film also discloses the reasons for that: life is harsh in Sardnia and farming is precarious. So one has to exploit children to survive economically.

Bestiality Is Depraved: Subverted. The fact that some young rural Sardinians acquire their first sexual experience with donkeys, sheep and hens is treated very matter-of-factly. Apparently one villager had a hard time getting excited during a visit to a brothel, because he got too used to having sex with animals with tails.
