[1] Abandoned with a son by her husband years ago, Signora Enrica is notorious in her native Rimini for refusing to allow any men into her house ever since.

She decides to make an exception to her age-old rule for Ekin, a Turkish student who comes to her house.

Signora Enrica's son Giovanni begins to begrudge his mother for giving a stranger the love she has denied everybody else for years.
