Giulia Dragotto

Veronica, a 16-year-old girl, is spending the Christmas holidays at her grandfather's in a small village in the Sicilian hinterland when a woman disappears and the fear of the monster who had sown terror in the area ten years earlier returns. The girl suddenly begins to feed a terrible suspicion: her own grandfather could be the culprit.

A 13-year-old Sicilian girl must contend with a viral contagion that has killed off all adults on the island as she sets out in search of her kidnapped brother.
