SYNOPSIS
Giusy is tired of living in the community where she grew up, in the indifference of the older ones and the
hostility of her companions.
She decides to cut the ties that force her and ventures out alone on the streets of a gray and aggressive Palermo.
Her courage makes her come to the rescue of an old wandering poet who, however, disappears at dusk in the belly of a mountain. Giusy will find a new road.
