Inspired by real events. One November morning in 1991, 17 years old Rita (Veronica D’Agostino) approached the Chief Prosecutor of Palermo, intent on vindicating the deaths of her father and brother by the mafia. From then on Rita’s days are numbered. According to the traditional behaviour of Sicilian mafia women, Rita should observe the rule of silence. But Rita is not like the others. For the first time the daughter of a mafia family openly rebels against the traditionally male dominated organization. Repudiated and threatened by her boyfriend, her hometown and even her mother (Lucia Sardo), she is forced to leave Sicily and move to Rome.
