La ciociara (“The Peasant”) Two Women, Italian film drama, released in 1961, that earned Sophia Loren an Academy Award for best actress—the first Oscar ever given for a performance in a foreign-language movie. Two Women —which was based on the novel by Alberto Moravia—is a tale of survival in war-torn Italy in the early 1940s.
With a fragile, sheltered 13-year-old daughter Rosetta (Eleonora Brown) to protect, widow Cesira (Sophia Loren) decides to leave her small grocery store and return to the relative safety of her native village Ciociara, in the Italian countryside.
