In 1839 Sicily, Agata, the daughter of a marshal, is forced to renounce her love for Giacomo Lepre due to the difficult family economic situation. After her father's death, her mother sends her to a Neapolitan monastery, where she finds solace in studying and reading novels sent by James Garson, a British captain. Amidst revolts in Italy, Agata struggles between obedience and her desires for freedom, while the presence of James Garson awakens feelings that go beyond mere liberation. A story of impossible love in a convulsed Italy.
