Maria Linde, a free-spirited, Jewish Polish Nobel Prize in Literature winner, leads a seemingly calm life in her family's villa in Tuscany. A loving mother and grandmother, she also fosters a secret flirtation with the much younger Muslim immigrant who runs a nearby seaside inn. After a terrorist attack in Rome, Maria refuses to succumb to the hysterical fear and anti-immigrant sentiment that quickly emerges, deciding, in her acceptance speech of a local honor, to boldly decry Europe's eroding democracy—but she is unprepared for the public and personal havoc her comments wreak.
