Naples in the fifties and sixties: Lila and Elena could hardly be more different and yet they are inseparable. The friends want to escape the cramped conditions of their neighborhood and insist on determining their own lives - even if the price they have to pay for this is sometimes brutal. What they cling to is their friendship. But can they really trust each other?
An exciting drama about friendship and the question of what really defines us: Our origins or ourselves?
