Pure Hearts

Synopsis

She is only seventeen, lives with her mother, a harsh and religious woman, and is about to take a vow of chastity before marriage. He is twenty-five, has a violent temper and a difficult past behind. He works as a security guard in a car park bordering a camp of Roma. Their unexpected meeting engenders a true sentiment, made of little stolen moments and mutual help. As their desire grows, Agnese is devastated by what she perceives as a betrayal of her ideals, and she takes an extreme decision in the hope of erasing her committed sin.
