Yle Vianello

Thirteen-year-old Marta moves from Switzerland to a small Calabrian town along with her mother and sister. There, she is sent to the local church to prepare for her Catholic confirmation and hopefully make new friends. But the religion she finds there—and how it dominates people’s lives—is strange.

Seventeen-year-old Ginia leaves the countryside in search of a new life in Turin. Restless and seeking adventure, Ginia soon finds it in the beautiful, enigmatic Amelia, whose sensuality and confidence embolden her to begin modeling for the bohemian artists in their circle. A whirlwind affair ensues, and the young seamstress finds herself swept up in an unfamiliar and exciting world of discovery.
