Naufragi

Deva is a young girl marked by a painful choice: the abortion of a child. Her chance encounter with a child will give her back, through a journey of pain and love, that motherhood and that life that she seemed irremediably lost.

In a family of true-blue Neapolitans—or rather, die-hard Neapolitan purists—something incredible happens: a baby girl is born who speaks Milanese and wants to eat nothing but risotto and panettone. Imagine the surprise and the lengths to which Assuntina’s family goes in an attempt to cure her. And things are bound to get worse when the young girl grows into an adult.

Ivan, a drifting immigrant in search of work and dignity, lands on an Italian island only to be met with cruelty and betrayal. Just as hope fades, he finds refuge with Martina—a silent soul who tends bees—and Father Enzo, a gruff priest with a generous heart buried beneath bitterness and stroke. As Ivan becomes part of their fragile household, he brings light to Enzo’s dark days and slowly earns Martina’s trust. But in a town wary of outsiders and family tensions simmering over land and legacy, harmony is hard-won.

Teresa, a mother from the Lazio suburbs, finds herself making an extreme gesture to defend her family from an unscrupulous loan shark. After serving her prison sentence, she must face the return to everyday life.
