The Wolves Will Return (Torneranno i Lupi)

Bianca Vallino

The Wolves Will Return

Along an old country road, where an ancient legend of the sea, wolves and men lingers, three generations of women come together to face a long-hidden sadness. Something is changing: it’s time to remember buried dreams, mend broken ties and consult the tarot. Only by going through love and loss can they free themselves from their fate and bring the old legend back to life.
