The Macaluso sisters—Maria, Pinuccia, Lia, Katia, and Antonella—are five young, orphaned siblings who live in and work from a shabby rooftop apartment in 1985 Palermo, Sicily. They make a living renting doves out for a variety of ceremonies; following each gig, the doves return home naturally on their own. One hot summer, a beach outing is planned on a rare day off from work. Near the close of a day full of enchantment, reverie, and close encounters with secret lovers, a shocking catastrophe transpires, and that single event will change the course of the sisters’ relationships for the rest of their lives.
