El agua del lago nunca es dulce

Rome is increasingly expensive and suffocating, so Gaia's humble family moves to the outskirts, to a beautiful town near Lake Bracciano where it is not easy to go unnoticed: everyone knows who you are and how much your friends earn. fathers. Antonia, the mother, in charge of four children and a paralyzed husband due to an accident on the construction site, is an honest and tireless woman who teaches Gaia, her only daughter, to trust in her own abilities above all else, not to give up and to always hold your head high. Gaia is the smartest in the family, so she has to study tirelessly, pursue a career and become someone. And Gaia learns not to complain, to read books, to defend herself, to jump into the lake without fear... But violence and rage, crouched like a snake, do not stop growing inside her. Proud and stubborn, Gaia throws a very black, penetrating, furious look at that world in which she does not fit, because how can you believe in "a better future" when you were born on the wrong side of the river?
