A young Sicilian woman flees her repressive family for London, finding liberation amid a more permissive environment. Vitti effortlessly blends humour and dramatics as Assunta, who attempts to track down and murder the boyfriend who abandoned and dishonoured her. The film follows her as she travels around the country, gradually discovering the joys of women’s liberation and self-fulfilment.
