We are in April 1887: Enrico has become a deputy, he often travels back and forth between Rome and Turin with Teresa and has managed to bring Lidia’s law to the commission. Lidia is impatient but knows she must trust her brother as she continues to date Fourneau, even though she obviously doesn’t want to get involved, get married, or make this relationship public. He got a promotion at work, he is in the Court of Assizes now and his test case to prove his worth is the murder charge of a woman found guilty of killing her husband.
The problem is that the accused is Lidia’s closest friend, Grazia Fontana, whose trial for self-defense will shake public opinion and their relationships.
