A young Sicilian girl, Anna, did not receive any tenderness in her family. So when she is sixteen years old she decides to leave home with a man who is older than her. This man had promised her a lot of affection. She was mistaken. Soon she got to know that her companion was divorced and that he did not intend to marry her. She is hopeless and looks for help near a confessor. This confessor tells her: "You are living in adultery, no forgiveness is possible for you."
