In late 19th-century Turin, young Lidia Poët fights against everything and everyone to get what is rightfully hers: to be enrolled in the official register of lawyers; a profession, at the time, reserved exclusively for men. Nevertheless, nothing could stop her dream of becoming the first female lawyer in Italy.

Agnese and Stefano are profoundly different. She is only seventeen, lives with her mother – a harsh and devoted woman – is a regular church-goer and is about to take a vow of chastity to last until marriage. He is twenty-five, has a violent temper and a difficult past behind. He works as a warden in a car park that borders a Roma camp. Their unexpected meeting engenders a true sentiment, made of little stolen moments and mutual help.

Marco, an ordinary man in his early 40’s, Zoe, a 25 year old bold young girl, and Laura, an icy and elegant bourgeois middle aged lady, are trapped in a labyrinth of fragility and inner torment. Despite having reached a breaking point, they desperately try to hide their emotional turmoil, adopting toxic strategies and self-harming behaviors to survive their daily routine. Confronting their inner demons won’t mean a permanent solution to their suffering.
