Italy, 1930s. A small town in the South. A woman from the North. A meeting that will change both of them. An emotional story of love and redemption


Salento, June 1934. In Lizzanello, a small village of a few thousand souls, a bus stops in the main square. A couple gets out: he, Carlo, is a son of the South, and is happy to be back home; she, Anna, his wife, is as beautiful as a Greek statue, but sad and worried: what life awaits her in that unknown land? Even thirty years from that day, Anna will remain for everyone "the foreigner", the one who came from the North, the different one, who doesn't go to church, who always says what she thinks. And Anna, proud and angular, will never bend to the unwritten laws that imprison Southern women. She will also succeed thanks to the love that binds her to her husband, a love whose strength will be painfully clear to Carlo's older brother, Antonio , who fell in love with Anna the moment he saw her. Then, in 1935, Anna does something truly revolutionary: she enters a postal competition, wins it and becomes the first
