In the director's note, it says:
Un film sulla Sicilia dei primi anni cinquanta, tra vampe di passione, fughe riparatrici e amori ignorati e non corrisposti, potrebbe indurre chiunque a credere che siamo dalle parti, grandissime ma abusate, di Vitaliano Brancati e di Pietro Germi.
What do they mean by "siamo delle parti"? Characters, roles, parts, actors? Help!!

in the wake of
I think it means that this film is in the wake of Brancati and Germi's films (two famous Italian film directors) because it is based on similar themes and has a similar background... I'm not sure if "in the wake of" is the right expression though
