Things have not been easy for Silvia, a single mother who is doing her best to raise a son while caring for her own mother who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. While navigating these tough challenges Silvia discovers something else - her boss has been involved in corporate corruption and now she must decide whether she takes the easy course of action or the right one. Writer-director Franco Lolli renders a beautiful portrayal of modern life which is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking and demonstrates how the strongest acts of defiance can arise in the most regular of lives. ★★★★ "There’s enormous tenderness in this drama of disillusion" - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian ★★★★ "The film’s big, bold emotions creep up on you suddenly." - David Jenkins, Little White Lies ★★★★ "A careful, sympathetic portrait of one woman’s identity clashing with the pushes and pulls of her various lives – family, personal and professional." - Dave Calhoun, Time Out
