Francesco has a memory of his father from early childhood, a night when life for his family changed - their name, their story, their living place. From that night, he has vowed to protect his mother and to follow the words of his father 'Non mollare' - Never give up. When Francesco is rounded up with a group of young men and herded into a camp on the island of San Domino, he realises that someone has handed a list of names to the fascist police. Elena, a young and illiterate island girl on the cusp of womanhood, is drawn to the handsome Francesco yet fails to understand why her family try to keep her away from him. When Elena discovers the truth about the group of prisoners, the fine line between love and hate pulls her towards an act that can only have terrible consequences for all.
