In late autumn, in the last year of the 18th century, a gypsy camp came to the small Italian town of Stellata on the banks of the Po River, and the beautiful gypsy Violca stole the heart of a forty-year-old bachelor, Giacomo Casadio. Despite the opposition of both families, the lovers got married, but one day Violca decided to spread the cards to find out what the future held for them. And the cards predicted a terrible tragedy that awaited one of their descendants... This poignant story mixes truth and fiction, reality and magic, tears and jokes, and it covers two centuries of Italian history, from Garibaldi's struggle to unify the country to terrorism and social cataclysms of the 1970s. The bizarre interweaving of mysticism, romance and realism makes you empathize, hope and, together with the heroes from different eras, try to find and understand the meaning of human life.
