Paradise is a trap
Adventure
Coming of age
Paradise is a trap.
In the second half of the 1950s, in Genoa, there lives a girl by the name of Lilli, who is different from all her sisters: she’s a tomboy and doesn’t like obeying the rules. She feels suffocated within the walls of her home.
Everything changes the day Lilli meets Ida, a petty criminal in the service of a mysterious woman named Salomè, and her gang of Strays. For the first time in her life, Lilli feels truly accepted by this exciting and adventurous new world, while little by little her friendship with Ida transforms into something stronger and more complex. But soon Lilli and Ida will realise that they haven’t found freedom at all, rather, they’ve ended up in a trap. They will have to come up with an infallible plan to escape.
