The adventure of a woman. The saga of a family.
The epic story of a nation.

Cambridge, 1965. Sonia Maino, a 19-year old Italian student, meets a young Indian called Rajiv Gandhi. She is the daughter of a humble family from near Turin; he belongs to the most powerful clan in India. This is the beginning of a love story that even death cannot destroy.

The Italian girl leaves her world and her past behind for love, and embraces the culture of her new country, India. A country like no other, where twenty million gods are worshipped, eight hundred different languages are spoken and over five hundred political parties stand for election.

With a powerful narrative style, Javier Moro dramatizes the great Nehru-Gandhi family saga, the story of men and women trapped in the clutches of power, prisoners of a destiny they have not chosen. That same destiny will lead Sonia to embody the hopes of more than a billion people in the country of Mahatma Gandhi, whose surname she also bears.
