Sicily, 1904. On the eve of her engagement, the young, freedom-loving Constanza learns that her father has committed suicide. The engagement is broken, and her family sends the grief-stricken girl to New York, a city where many Italians move in search of a better life. She moves in with distant relatives and starts life anew, experiencing a painful homesickness. Only after moving to Naples does Constanza regain the ability to breathe and love.

More than a hundred years later, her great-granddaughter, the opera singer Lucilla, accidentally discovers her great-grandmother's fate and attempts to find traces of her.

This story is filled with the menacing music of the waves and the aromas of coastal towns. Here, the heroine's joys and tragedies are intertwined with historical events. But no matter what storms fate has in store for her, the eternal blue sea, “where the sun is born and dies,” comforts and gives peace.
