Naples, 1983. Due to earthquake damage (the variant called bradyseism), the women’s prison in Pozzuoli is closed and the inmates are moved temporarily to other penitentiaries. Some of the women are transferred to the juvenile prison on the islet of Nisida. The playwright Eduardo De Filippo goes to the island frequently, helping to renovate the prison’s theater and create a school for acting and set design.
