With great skill then, Sister Letizia goes beyond the task entrusted to her and undertakes to avoid the closure of the convent, and to reopen the kindergarten that the nuns once held; thus the sale is upset.

From this moment on, Sister Letizia begins to feel less and less a nun and more and more a woman and a mother, eager to protect the little one she becomes attached to, to the point of neglecting her duties.

Sister Letizia's attachment to the child was noticed by the nuns, who respectfully point out to her how her preference is now evident to all the other children in the kindergarten.

The night before leaving, however, the child clearly demonstrates to Sister Letizia that she could not replace her mother in her heart as, up until that moment, she had deluded herself that she could.

The next day Sister Letizia decides to put the good of the child before her own: so she goes to Naples instead of Rome, bringing the baby back to the mother and intervening energetically in front of the boyfriend, so that he accepts Salvatore in the new family.
