Die Geschichte eines neuen Namens

Lila and Elena are sixteen years old and desperate. Lila learns on her wedding day that her husband is cheating on her – he is doing business with the hated Solara brothers, the local Camorristi. For Lila, who was born poor and suddenly gained money and status through marriage, painful times are ahead. Elena, on the other hand, falls head over heels for a young student, but he seems to be playing with her feelings. She has become a model student, but must realize that what she has worked so hard for means little in her Neapolitan world. Despite all these adversities, Lila and Elena insist on determining their own lives, even if the price they have to pay is sometimes brutal. What the two young women cling to is their friendship. But can they?.
