Circeo

Donatella et Rosaria sont invitées par deux bourgeois de Rome. La soirée se transforme en cauchemar. Donatella survit. Teresa, une avocate spécialisée dans le droit des femmes s'occupe de l'affaire.

Teresa überzeugt Donatella davon, sich von ihrer Kanzlei vertreten zu lassen. Der Prozess naht, und alle Medien berichten darüber. Saverio hat das, was er wollte, während Donatella mit der Rückkehr zur Normalität kämpft.

The trial begins in Latina, with women from the feminist movement also present. Donatella faces intense courtroom and media pressure, as defense lawyers try every underhanded trick to get the case thrown out.

Donatella must testify at the same Circeo villa, which proves terribly distressing. Teresa confides in Saverio, and the feminists welcome Donatella into their group. The day of the sentencing is near, but the charges might still be dismissed.

After sentencing, Donatella tries to rebuild her life, but for many she remains "that girl from Circeo". Teresa decides to work with Tina Lagostena Bassi, and they try to show on national television what a rape trial is really like.

Five years later comes the appeal, set in Rome. Donatella and Teresa must muster all their forces to stop the sentence being overturned, but the time gap works against them, and their opponents are more ruthless than ever.
