Description

Ornella, a sixteen-year-old girl, comes to spend her holidays in Tuscany with her godmother, Valentina. Searching for freedom and new sensations, she decides to rest from rules and try forbidden things—like wine, cigarettes, and relationships with men. Ornella is looking for someone who would bring her comfort, protection, and real joy to fill the emptiness left by her father, who abandoned the family. She finds that protection and joy in Pietro—but their happiness is cut short by a tragic event. Perhaps it’s Ornella herself to blame, or maybe the kind-hearted Signora Valentina?
