Sylvia walks into the house… just while her husband Nick and his mistress Jenny are in bed. All control lost, she pulls a pistol from her purse and shoots! It is the beginning of a very exciting story of the heart... also intended as a transplant... new friendships, betrayals, memories, revenge... and sex.

12-year-old Renato experiences three significant events on the same day: the beginning of the Second World War, getting a bike, and witnessing the arrival of the gorgeous Malèna. Through his eyes, we see the curse of beauty and loneliness of Malena, whose husband is presumed dead, and, through his soul, we see his love for her.

Set in Fascist Italy before the outbreak of World War II, the story centers on Tunin, a farmer turned anarchist who stays in a brothel while preparing to kill Benito Mussolini.
