Giovanna grew up believing that she had perfect parents who adored her and each other. Suddenly she heard her father comparing her to her hated sister Vittoria. How can this be? This woman is a monster, a disgrace and an enemy of their family. Now the girl wants to meet her to make sure she has nothing to do with her aunt. This encounter reveals certain family secrets to Giovanna and the life of adults that is so alien and still incomprehensible. Betrayal, disappointment in her parents, first love, sexual attraction and a passionate desire to love - her native Naples turns into a battlefield for her, a place of personal victories and defeats. Giovanna wants to find the truth. But is it worth looking for it in the world of adults who teach children not to lie, but constantly lie to each other?
