Punto de realce
Agnello Hornby, Simonetta
The wind whips the streets of Palermo the day Sara, Rachele and Beatrice, also known in the Sorci family as The Three Wise Men, meet in the Cassaro neighborhood to negotiate the rent of an old abandoned sacristy: they intend to involve women of all ages and social classes to create a kind of club where, in addition to generating income thanks to traditional embroidery, they help each other to face the modernity that the sixties and the new challenges bring. For the once aristocratic Sorci family, which is experiencing turbulent times, modernity is the new buildings that rise after destroying historic buildings or the new countercultural and pro-civil rights currents that come from San Francisco; and the challenges, fighting against enemies as powerful as the emergence of drugs or the growing power of the mafia, whose laws and codes -you will see firsthand- no one violates with impunity.
