synopsis

These are the stories of four girls who live in and around Rome: Eugenia Praticò, an aspiring screenwriter who fled Palermo to pursue success, as long as it’s niche; Uvetta Budini di Raso, an aristocratic and beautiful girl who has been living a sheltered life in the historic center and is making her debut in the working world; Michela Trezza who is about to get married and loves her life in the provincial town of Giudonio; and Tazia De Tiberis, the tough girl from northern Rome who wants to control everything, including her boyfriend’s wishes. And all four, in their own way, are trying to find their place in the world.
