The mafia kills only in the summer

I absolutely loved this film. I really enjoyed the narration of his life and his obsession with the Mafia and its presence in Palermo. However, I did not understand his obsession of Flora. She disrespected him many times, even when they were little. Arturo bought her Irises every day and she had the audacity to believe the other kid over him. Also, when he asked her to be honest about her speech and he was, she got mad at him! After that, I was so disappointed in Arturo for still pining after her.
