В начале 1980-х между боссами сицилийской мафии разгорается война за героиновый рынок. Один из мафиози, Томмазо Бушетта, пытается скрыться в Бразилии. В то время, как на его родине начинается бойня, Бушетта вынужден издалека наблюдать за тем, как его сыновей и братьев убивают в Палермо.

Elena, a Sicilian mother of three, is murdered by her husband. Her cousin, Roberto decides to take the three orphans into custody. Together with his wife, Anna, he takes charge of the maintenance of the three nephews, who join the other two children of the couple. The adaptation of the three children to the new reality is complex and conflicting. The backlash on the family budget is heavy. Roberto and his wife make do to ensure that the children are supported, trying not to let them know how their mother died.
