Susanna Piraino

Maria, Pinuccia, Lia, Katia et Antonella, cinq sœurs, vivent ensemble dans un appartement de Palerme. Elles gagnent leur vie en louant des colombes pour des cérémonies. Lors d'une journée normale à la plage, un drame se produit.

Veronica, a 16-year-old girl, is spending the Christmas holidays at her grandfather's in a small village in the Sicilian hinterland when a woman disappears and the fear of the monster who had sown terror in the area ten years earlier returns. The girl suddenly begins to feed a terrible suspicion: her own grandfather could be the culprit.
