Description

In the village of San Luca in southern Italy, the Italian Communist Party is actively recruiting and organizing its party structures.

The party's hub is situated in the valley of San Luca, and Rolando Donatis, a local resident of the valley, is chosen to be the head of the party's political office in San Luca. Rocco Donatis has served in the party for years, executing various missions. The party leadership in Rome knows him well, placing complete trust in him. Rocco lives with Stella, an Austrian Jewish woman, and their acquaintance in the party is intertwined.
