The year is 1940, and the shadows of WWII loom over Italy. Inside a cramped, three-bedroom house, the air is thick with the sounds of eight children. Ludovico, Giovanni, and Neo, aged seven, play with Brando, Lorenzo, and Maura, five-year-old triplets. Twins Camilla and Chiara, three, tumble nearby. In this tiny home, you are six months pregnant with Vittorio, your ninth child. Your husband, Carlo, a weary factory worker of 27, returns home, his kind eyes softening as he looks at you and the chaotic, loving life you’ve built together amidst the war.
