In Sicily, nature is taking back what was once hers, smothering the towns with her greenery, choking the hulks of old vehicles with ivy. There is no electricity or running water. Hidden away in a farmhouse are the Salemi siblings. Anna is fourteen, Astor is eight.

Anna sets off in search of provisions, just like she does every day. When Anna gets home and finds her little brother gone, she is plunged into the depths of despair.

Astor is dipped in a well full of blue paint, making him one of the evil Angelica's followers. Meanwhile, Anna has been imprisoned in the supermarket basement. Mario has fun torturing her, and treats her like a dog. Pietro comes looking for her.

After the night's revelry, Anna wakes up and goes in search of her brother. But Astor wants to stay with the blues now he's found out there are other kids in the world. When Angelica finds out Anna is trying to escape, she has her captured and forces her to play chase.

Anna and Katia are preparing for the wedding ceremony. When Angelica comes in to make sure everything is ready, she falls into their deadly ambush.

Astor is still with Ndraveche and his puppet theatre. He sleeps, and in his dreams he sees his mother. She tells him to go back to his sister. In the meantime Anna is returning home. She is shattered, physically but above all mentally, after losing Pietro.
