A tale of courage, strength of word and complicated family relations. A tale of fear of the unknown and of passion for life. It is set in provincial Italy, in the Etruscan town of Volterra. Maria (Krystyna Janda), a Polish poet, Nobel Prize winner and moral authority, has been living there for years. The world of the protagonists turns upside down when they receive shocking news about a terrorist attack in Rome. Maria’s intransigence and her disregard for political correctness result in dramatic consequences.
