The Woman Who Lived by the Sea

Sicily, 1904. On the eve of her engagement, the young free-spirited Constanza learns that her father has committed suicide. The engagement is broken, and her relatives send the grief-stricken girl to New York - a city where many Italians move in search of a better life. She settles with distant relatives and starts anew, experiencing painful longing for home. Only after moving to Naples does Constanza regain her ability to breathe and love. A hundred years later, her great-granddaughter, opera singer Lucilla, accidentally learns about her great-grandmother's fate and attempts to trace her footsteps. This story is filled with the thunderous music of waves and the scents of coastal towns. Here, the joys and tragedies of the heroine intertwine with historical events. But whatever storms fate may prepare for her, the eternal blue sea, "where the sun is born and dies," comforts and grants peace.
