Storia
In 'Levante', we follow Sofia, a talented 17-year-old volleyball player who finds herself faced with an unwanted pregnancy on the eve of a championship that could determine her future as an athlete. Desperate to terminate the pregnancy secretly, she becomes the target of a fundamentalist group who refuse to let her make her own choices. Despite the threats and obstacles, Sofia remains determined, with those around her standing firmly by her side against the blind fervor of the opposition.
