The plot
Geena Castillo fled the United States to get away from a violent family and, having arrived in Rome, she believes she has finally found true love in Raffaele. In reality the relationship will prove to be a real prison. Not even Jonathan’s birth can resolve a situation in which brutality is the daily bread. The only thing to do is separate. And the life of Geena, who has meanwhile become Gina Drago, seems to have taken a different turn until the police knock on the woman’s door, and she is asked to identify a newly found body, which is suspected to be that of her ex. From this moment, while waiting for the investigations to clarify, Geena enters a tunnel of fear and anxiety, because she is convinced that Raffaele’s death was not the result of chance. Supported by a group of friends who try to protect her and by her meeting with a charming pianist, Geena will have to do everything to regain control of her life and carve out a piece of happiness in the world.
