Synopsis

Angela is a dedicated and sensitive carer. She is a widow. Her husband, as many other workers in the area, died from asbestos-related diseases. When the man responsible for the many deaths, now crippled, is hospitalised, she accepts his son’s offer to become his caregiver, hoping to take her revenge. This is the beginning of a journey for Angela, a journey into the tragedy of her loss, her suffering and her hatred. Angela is taking her revenge but there is no way out of her past.
