Synopsis:

Valeria Collina, an Italian woman who converted to Islam, returned to live in Italy in the summer of 2015 after twenty years in Morocco. Two years later, her life is shaken by the death of her young son Youssef, a member of the jihadist command who caused eight deaths on London Bridge on June 3, 2017. Twenty-four hours later, as the attackers’ names are released, her small house in the hills of Bologna is swarmed by television crews from around the world. Valeria, in a state of shock, publicly condemns the actions of her son and decides not to attend his funeral. Following the confusion of those first few days, Valeria finds herself alone in the quiet of her house, having to put her life back together.
