From Father To Daughter

Delighted by the birth of his first son after three daughters, patriarchal Giovanni Franza pins his hopes on the boy one day taking over the family distilleries.

Five years later, the now 16-year-old twins indulge in small rebellions, but their dreams of escaping the repressive family environment seem destined to fail.

When Maria Teresa graduates with honors in chemistry, her father offers her a job as a mere secretary, so she goes to work for a rival distillery instead.

With the transfer of the business from father to daughters, the new “Sorelle Franza” distillery testifies to the power of women fighting for and achieving their desires.
