Sometimes the naive look of a girl is enough to start a story that will change the lives of two families and the entire world. Anna, a sad and lazy bug in the words of Ginzburg herself, is that apocada girl who lives in a town in northern Italy in the years before World War II and falls in love with her neighbor's toys; She is also the young woman who almost without protest undergoes the violence of sex, and is the woman who follows Cenzo Rena, a man thirty years older than her, to an inhospitable place in the south after becoming her wife. Anna Calla while everyone around her speak and gestures: there are those who spend the nights by plotting attacks against Mussolini, others who walk in convertible cars or stain without giving explanations. With the war, important decisions and extreme acts arrive: the scenario opens, breathes pain, asks for dignity, and fear is common currency.
