In the summer of 1975 in central Italy, a 13-year-old girl, suitcase in one hand and a bag of shoes in the other, knocks at the door of a farmstead. So begins the story of a teenager who lost everything overnight: a comfortable home, her closest friends, the unconditional love of her parents – or rather the people she believed were her parents. For l'Arminuta (the returned girl) as her peers call her, a new and very different life begins. Her new home is smaller and darker than that of her wealthier adoptive parents, there are brothers everywhere and little food on the table to share. Faced with a new life in a new daily environment, she must also grapple with the feelings of abandonment brought on by her reunion with the family she never knew. (Cinemax)
