A slow gentle story of two friends growing up together in 1950s Naples. A raw yet soft tale of adolescence in the context of the poverty, violence and misogyny of its setting. I started off unsure of whether this would be for me, but ended up really enjoying it and now invested in the story of these two women and where they'll go next.
Moderate: Sexual assault, Pedophilia, and Domestic abuse
