Lampedusa, an island near western Sicily. Husbands go out to sea and wives work in the fish-packing plant. Fun is restricted to Saturday nights.

But her free-spirited attitude causes gossip throughout the entire village, and her husband?s family decides that Grazia needs medical treatment in faraway Milan. But Grazia will have no part in this. Her 13-year-old son Pasquale will find a way to protect the touching bond they share
