1600, Southern Italy is under the Spanish Government. A few years before an attempt at rebellion, inspired by the preaching of the philosopher and monk Tommaso Campanella, is severely quelled by the Government. Campanella, under the charge of the plot, is put into a prison in Naples and waits for the conclusion of an endless process. Throughout the Calabrian countries his name is wrapped up in legend, he becomes almost a myth. Someone believes he has escaped from prison and wanders about under a false name.

Veronica, a young single mother with an adolescent son, is driving her car along a road by the sea. Suddenly, a car swerves into her lane, breaks the crash barrier and crashes into the sea. She reacts instinctively, terrified at having such a close brush with death, and carries on without stopping. By the time she returns to some sense of normality, it is too late to go back. She is trembling, crying. As she finds out in the newspapers the next day, the driver ends up in hospital in a coma. From then on, Veronica's life takes an unexpected twist.
