Plot:

A love story set in July 1943 when Allied forces land in Sicily. Arturo loves Flora, the daughter of a restaurant owner, but her hand in marriage has been promised to a Mafia boss.

In the background, a clever narrative of how relations between the Allies and the Mafia during World War II shaped the fate of Sicily for years to come.
