A few meters from the Parco della Favorita, the green lung where the Palermo version of Woodstock was held in the 70s, stands one of the symbolic buildings of the mafia. On the other hand, two houses that have resisted the mafia for 30 years. Two sisters lived there: Savina and Maria Rosa Pilliu. Their life goes smoothly: they run a small grocery store and dedicate themselves to their family. But one day, at the beginning of the 1980s, the land where their houses are built attracted the interest of an entrepreneur who would like to tear them down to build a nine-storey building. From that day on, a thirty-year long Odyssey began for them, made up of intimidation and threats, which the Pilliu sisters face without ever giving up, despite the fact that the institutions seem to have abandoned them in their battle.
