Three sisters wake, as in the old Sicilian traditions, over the youngest one’s dead husband. The veil of silence is torn open by a vortex of confessions and an explosion of emotions, in a chatter of musicality and pungent irony.

As the night is over, the soul of the deceased, as tradition has it, has finally left the house. The new silence that surrounds the three sisters is now interwoven with a desire to react, so that no woman has to hide and be silent anymore
