In the impoverished confines of her parents' home, 17-year-old Marta awaits the return of her fiancé from war. As a single mother, she faces the scorn of her community and once the war is over and Michele doesn't return, she finds herself promised to an older farmer. During the village's preparatory course for wives, she forges an unlikely friendship with Lorenzo, the village's openly gay "wedding planner." In the conservative backdrop of rural Southern Italy, Lorenzo introduces her to a hidden community of gays who support women, sparking Marta's courageous journey to challenge societal prejudices and together they fight for their respective rights.
