In wartime Italy, Francesca Vianello, a young woman living in the Venetian countryside, shelters a family from Fascist soldiers in her attic. To comfort the children, she weaves captivating tales of werewolves, ghosts, and a vampire queen. As danger escalates, the narrative explores themes of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of family. One character's selfless act becomes a testament to the power of love and the importance of remembering those who have given their lives for others. Inspired by true events.
