In a small village in the south of Italy, the destinies of two women who are very distant from each other meet by chance. The 17 years old Rosa, clinging to a teenage love that hopefully takes her away from everything, and the 45 years old Gladys, who has just returned from Venezuela, are two of the workers who sew in a damp and dilapidated basement for a rough and violent employer. While they both return to hope and love, a fire in the factory will take them by surprise.
