Years ago I 've watched a movie about a deaf/mute 13 year old girl who was forced to marry an old man. The events happen in 17/18 century, I assumed based on the outfits of the actors. This movie made a huge impression on me and I've been searching for its title ever since.

Marianna Ucrìa (1997) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116990/) ?

Oh my god!! That's the one!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
