The storyline sheds light on the fears, hopes, and sacrifices faced by families caught in the tide of war. The narrative follows Signora Maironi's journey as she seeks to find her son, who is in military service, amidst the anxieties stirred by the prospect of war. As the tension in Italy rises, she reflects on her young son's health and her fears for his safety.
