Fortunata (Jasmine Trinca) has a difficult life, a daughter of eight and a failed marriage behind her. She works as a hairdresser in people's houses, leaving from the outskirts to cross the city, going to the homes of the well-off to do women's hair. Fortunata fights every day with determination to achieve her dream: opening her own salon and challenging fate, in an attempt at emancipating herself and gaining her independence and the right to some happiness. She knows that to achieve her dreams she has to be firm: she has thought of everything, she is ready for anything, but she had not considered the variable of love, the one subversive force capable of sweeping aside every certainty. Also because, perhaps for the first time, someone looks at her as the woman she is and truly loves her. (Cannes Film Festival)
