Ten-year-old Vittoria is very close to her mother Tina. But her world is turned upside down when she finds out that her biological mother is the local debt-ridden lush Angelica. How will they each come to terms with the new situation? Is maternity determined by biological or cultural bonds? Laura Bispuri dealt with this intimate issue in her debut Sworn Virgin, but here she exchanges the Albanian mountain setting for Sardinia. The island, where the traditional concept of family relationships comes up against modern life, inspired the lyrico-magical style of a picture whose melodramatic story brings frequent reminders of traditional Italian cinema.
