Aïcha is a rebellious village girl in her twenties who works in a clothing factory and dreams of a better life. Her lover, Mourad, had left her and emigrated to Europe, which led her to retreat into isolation. Adam is a young and disillusioned doctor who cannot bear his dull and lifeless daily routine, caught between the suffering of his patients and his own loneliness. On a whim, he decides to leave everything behind and accept a job in a remote, barren village, in search of tranquility and an escape from haunting memories. There, he encounters Aïcha, who brings movement and vitality into his otherwise quiet new life.

Puglia. Burnt by the sun and by hatred, the promontory of Gargano is contested by criminals who seem to come from a remote past governed by the law of the jungle. An archaic land reminiscent of the Far West, in which blood is washed away with blood. An old feud between two rival families is rekindled by a forbidden love: the one between Andrea, reluctant heir of the Malatesta, and Marilena, beautiful wife of the boss of the Camporeale clan. A fatal passion that sets the two clans at war again. But Marilena, banished by the Camporeale and prisoner of the Malatesta, disputed and abused, will oppose a fate already written with a mother’s strength.

A couple of fisher-folk are joined by a young new apprentice in the middle of a raging storm.
