A home for Lorenzo and Aniezze is the sunny coast of Salento, filled with the aromas of floral essences and plant oils. Their grandfather founded a family soap-making factory—something more than a business: an embodiment of their shared future. But when their father decides to sell the factory for his personal ambitions, a rift grows between the brother and sister. Lorenzo, like a fierce Mediterranean storm, leaves home, determined to restore the lost values. Meanwhile, Aniezze—confident in her skills but not so brave outside the factory—stays to work for the competitor. Against the backdrop of the economic upswing of the 1960s, Francesca Giannone creates a complex narrative of passion and calling, a difficult choice of life path, and decisions driven by reason or by the heart.
