Casale Monferrato, 2011. The town is excited because of the impending verdict of the trial against Eternit, the factory which produced asbestos: the company's managers are in the dock, responding to the harmful effects which have been proved with thousand of deaths. One of the employees who got sick for asbestos is Eduardo: he has been working in the plant for a life and now he is gravely ill. He has little time to repair the relationship with his son Luca, ruined during the past years. And Luca, also thanks to the love for his girlfriend Raffaella, is ready to reconcile.

Un posto sicuro

Mariagrazia, Chiara and Letizia are inseparable friends forced to come to terms every day with the hated extra kilos, looks of disapproval from their schoolmates and giggles in the school hallways. Mariagrazia suffers for the confrontation with her mother (Valeria Solarino), a former sports champion. Chiara has a chat with a peer, but she is too afraid to send him her photo. Letizia has a talent for music but too much shame to show it. After the umpteenth teasing, an unexpected opportunity for redemption comes from the popular and beautiful Alice, captain of the synchronized swimming school team, forced by a blackmail to train them in secret. The three girls embark on an impossible challenge, driven into the water by their desire for revenge.
