Apolloniaās dad is played by Sicilian actor SarĆ² Urzi.
Heās in a dark comedy called āSeduced and Abandonedā about a Sicilian father whose daughter was seduced by the fiancĆ© of her older sister.
He is trying to force the young man to marry his daughter, all without having the village find out about his ādishonoredā family.
Here is a scene unfortunately no subtitles.
But Iāll explain.
He is reading a letter from his daughterās boyfriend who is in the military. The letter is to the daughter, heās reading to make sure there are no suggestive parts. Itās very boring, he talks about his ability at talking apart his gun, getting a special meal of rigatoni with sauce. How he developed a rash and couldnāt sleep, and since he was awake, he thought of writing to the girlfriend.
The dad hands her the letter and says, rarely have I read anything more stupid than this. But he checks under the stamp and it says āI send passionate kisses to your lipsā
He gets mad, says that she must write to him that if he sends another letter like that heāll flush it down the toilet. Calls him a dirty traitor, and slams his sonās hand in his anger.
