Description
Elsa lives in a hushed Italian town after the Second World War, surrounded by the familiar yet suffocating atmosphere of her family's home. Her mother's anxiety is palpable, and Elsa longs to break free from the life she's always known. In secret meetings with Tommasino, a man from the De Francisci family, Elsa begins to imagine an alternative future for herself. Their relationship is forbidden, but in each other's eyes, they see a chance to escape the constraints of their shared history and expectation. However, when their secret is revealed, everything changes. As Elsa navigates this new reality, she must confront the uncertainty of her own desires and the consequences of her choices.
