Pappi Corsicato paints the "al dente" portraits of three contemporary Italian women : Aurora, Carmela and Libera who are torn between traditional values - mariage, motherhood, family and religion - and their tremendous appetite for life. And what if, to live their lives, they have to dynamite everything, starting with the archaic respect due to men? These Neapolitans have plenty of pluck and will take an unexpected revenge on their destiny.
