Francesco and Eloisa, through old photographs, reconstruct the story of Maša and Gianlorenzo, their grandparents. She, an exile from the countryside of Prague, he, a rich Roman intellectual with a role at the Italian Embassy in Prague. They two fell in love shortly before the Russians occupied Czechoslovakia in 1968. Thanks to Gianlorenzo’s connections, Maša became the first Czech woman to obtain permission from the Communist party to marry a foreigner and therefore to obtain Italian citizenship. The situation gets worse and worse, the party’s rules become suffocatin. They decide to leave Maša’s family and move to Italy with their three children. Here, Maša enters the world of the Roman upper class, conservative and often judgmental. The fourth child is born. Something inside her breaks. All her choices, from that moment on, will be guided by an uncontrollable need for freedom. A freedom that a totalitarian government takes away from.
