Corsica in the second half of the nineteenth century. The widow Paolo Saverini lives in Bonifacio with her son Antoine and their devoted dog, Semillante. After a family tragedy destroys her quiet life, the ancient Corsican code of blood revenge becomes her only moral law. The story explores maternal devotion, isolation, harsh local customs, and the determination of a person who feels bound to fulfil a solemn promise.
