During the years of the Dolce Vita, Leda tries to make a living as best she can in the alleys of Trastevere in Rome. Orphaned by her father, she grows up with her two older brothers and her mother, hardened by life and her heavy work in a bar at Termini Station, which she couldn't give up to feed the family. Against this backdrop unfolds the discomfort of Leda, left alone and forced to confront deprivations that shouldn't belong to her age. Upon reaching maturity, becoming a wife and mother, she manages to settle the scores with the father figure she never truly knew and reconcile with the maternal one, discovering a harsh truth. A story of redemption and historical setting, inspired by a true story. Luigi Marino (in the novel Luigi Martini, Leda's father) came from a wealthy Italian family, transplanted to Egypt for generations, from where he was forced to emigrate for historical-political reasons in the 1940s. Returning to Italy, he lived without glory, content with having marginal roles in work, in his passion for cinema, and in his family, tied to the history of his origins and to a political past that conditioned his brief future.
