Forced to face challenges beyond her years and to unravel secrets guarded for decades, she discovers a hidden side of her mother - and a mysterious figure, Signore M., whose shadow seems to haunt the edges of her reality. With a broken heart but a will born of pain, Simone will test the limits of her body, her emotions, and her spirit. She will learn to live at the edge of the abyss, to lose her innocence, and to rise from the ashes of her own story. This is not merely a journey toward adulthood. It is a rebirth. A claiming of destiny. A one-way descent into a truth that wounds - but sets her free.Concluida
