Annita Malavasi was 22 years old when German troops occupied Italy in 1931. As partisan "Laila", she delivered information, transported weapons and fought against the occupying forces in the Apennines.
The film tells the story of a lifelong emancipation that began with the liberation struggle against fascism. Laila and two of her comrades, Gina "Sonia" Moncigoli and Pierina "Iva" Bonilauri, talk about their time in the Resistenza and its significance for them and many other women.
