Description
1950, into the house of a wealthy Neapolitan family straight from Versailles delivered a luxury carriage bed for a baby who is about to be born right in the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. A girl was born, and she was named Parthenope in honor of the ancient Greek nymph, whose name was once called Naples. The ideal girl lived to the fullest: she changed lovers and hobbies, tried to start a career as an actress, studied to be an anthropologist and danced until morning. The brilliant life of the darling of fate was overshadowed by only one event — the suicide of brother Rafael, who faded away in the rays of a bright Parthenope.
