Synopsis
A story of women and courage, a story of passion and pain, a story of immigration and return, a story of Italy‘s past and present, but mainly a story of women. A story of grandmother Assunta, mother Maria and granddaughter Assunta that encircles their experiences, lives, families, children and the battle for their family symbol, “the Gran Bazar Universale.” A voyage of departures and arrivals between Gaeta, Italy and the United States, Assunta’s story speaks of this entire epoch, but above all that when women decide to battle for something or someone nobody can stop them, not even a murderer’s knife.
