Venice, 1921. Rachele Modiano Mendes faces the daunting challenge of being a married woman practising law. Her first civil case turns into a web of fraud, blackmail, and murder. Faced with the doubts of the court and the police, Rachele must unravel the mystery behind the case, confront a sceptical magistrate, who dismisses her as an aristocrat toying with the law as a hobby, and protect her client's name. In a professional world dominated by men, Rachele's quest for justice becomes a personal journey of determination and self-discovery.
