Synopsis

This moving drama explores the interwoven lives of Italian women across generations, inspired by Susanna Tamaro's novel. The story opens with the peaceful death of Olga, the family's matriarch, and focuses on her granddaughter Marta's return from America for the funeral. While staying at Olga's villa in Trieste, Marta discovers Olga’s diary, which reveals Olga’s past through a series of flashbacks. Young Olga was forced to marry Antonio, despite lacking love for him. Later, she has a passionate affair with a doctor at the local spa, resulting in the birth of Illaria. Illaria struggles with deep-seated anxieties and eventually has Marta, but dies tragically in a car accident, leaving Marta orphaned and raised by Olga. The film skillfully connects these women's complicated lives, examining themes of love, sacrifice, and how their decisions affect those who follow. It shows that even choices with painful outcomes can shape lives in profoundly beautiful and heartbreaking ways.
