Two mothers give birth almost at the same time in a maternity ward on a cold, rainy day in Palermo, Italy. They are Lúcia and Michelina.
During the birth Lucia has complications and it is necessary to remove her uterus, much to the sadness of her hu...
While waiting for Matteo to leave the house, so that she could follow him and thus know once and for all who the woman he was in his place was, Romina remembered the day she saw the photo of Michelangelo in Rosario's hands. .
- Come on, tell me Rosario. What does the photo of Michelangelo do in your hands?
If it weren't for her insistence, that question would remain unanswered.
- Can you hear me, Rosario? What are you doing, with Michelangelo's photo in your hands?
- Like this? Do you know my son?
- Your son? Wait! Now I'm the one who doesn't understand anything.
Rosario brings Michelangelo's photo to her lips and kisses him.
- Yes, my beloved son.
- Sorry Rosario. I met Michelangelo some time ago, but as Mrs. Bibiana's son.
Rosario smiles as she remembers her kind friend, who took care of her boy like a son.
- Yes. Mrs. Bibiana is the mother of Michelangelo and Matteo.
- Bibiana is Matteo's only mother. Michelangelo is my son, I gave him when he was still little so she could raise him.
- But why Rosario?
- I've always been a very sick person, Romina. I've been hospitalized a few times with acute depression. How could I take care of my child in these conditions?
- Why don't you look for your son, instead of hugging this photo?
- As you yourself saw, Michelangelo now has another family and is happy with it.
- It's incredible that I always thought he was different from Matteo, but I couldn't imagine that he wasn't actually his brother.
- Different, what do you mean?
- Now Rosario! You know well that Michelangelo has a defect in his leg, which makes him walk with a limp. So back in the city where we lived, Ragusa, I saw Matteo beat up a lot of boys just because they made fun of him.
- I'm happy to know that my son is protected and that the boy loves him like a brother.
- That's what Matteo really loves.
The conversation took a little longer until Rosario felt tired and went to bed.
Before she entered Rosario made Romina promise not to tell anyone about her conversation.
The promise wasn't enough for the tangle of questions to circulate through Romina's head.
- Why doesn't Rosário want anyone to know?
- Why hide from Michelangelo that his mother is in Palermo?
Now the main question that remains unanswered.
- Should I or should I not tell Matteo, what I discovered?
Staying thoughtful for a few seconds, Romina then decided to keep this secret at least for now.
With a smile on her lips, Antonella says to Rocco.
- Uncle Baris will be very happy when he tells you about the NGO.
- Definitely yes.
