SYNOPSIS
Iolanda is one of the last witnesses of an archaic and merciless custom: the handing over of little girls from poor peasant families to wealthy families to be clothed and fed in exchange for their work at home or in the countryside. Iolanda was the girl who served my grandparents, but to me she was my second mother. Thirty years after her departure, Iolanda tells me her story contained between her escape from Calabria, in 1992, and her return, today, amid longings for freedom and unbreakable bonds.
