Biopic on the early life of Italian novelist Grazia Deledda

Eleven Sardinian women, chosen from a hundred actresses during the casting for a movie on about Grazia Deledda, Tellus with intensity, moments of their lives e their view of Deleddas story. Thus the portrait of a late nineteenth-century girl emerges, born and forced into a small village in the interior of Sardinia permeated with a conservative culture and agro-pastoralism, who struggles to open a gap and give substance to the magma of passions that agitate her. Through the story of the eleven girls, the profile of a young Sardinian woman of today who follows her dreams and cultivates her aspirations also emerges.

Cagliari. It is the day before Christmas Eve in 1985 when the owner of a wine shop is killed with three gunshots for a few hundred thousand lire. The judiciary needs a culprit, the city needs illusory security. A few days after the murder, Aldo is arrested. His crime is his past as a heroin addict, which is well known to the police, who accuse him on the basis of flimsy and specious evidence. Aldo, who is innocent, spends six months in solitary confinement before taking his own life.
