It's 1938, Benito Mussolini is the fascist ruler of Italy. Michele, a high school teacher, his wife, Delia, and their teenage daughter, Giovanna, live in Bologna. Michele's world revolves around Giovanna; Delia exists on the periphery. Despite her father's devotion, Giovanna is an unstable young woman. Eventually she completely loses control of herself and commits a horrible crime, the consequences of which will either strengthen or sever the father-daughter bond.
