Step inside the halls of Turin’s Le Molinette hospital in the late 1960s. As the world changes, is brilliance any match for chauvinism? From Walter Pr…
Alberto, an ingenious and passionate surgeon in Stockholm, and Delia, a brilliant cardiologist in Houston, return to Turin at Cesare’s request. Is fate giving them a second chance?
Delia's first day is awful: the skeptical glances of nuns and nurses sting, colleagues look at her with suspicion and patients don’t want to be treated by a woman. But what hurts the most is Alberto, who is hostile and dismissive.
Everyone is anxiously awaiting the imminent visit of the bishop, whose positive opinion could unlock important funds and win the Church's support for research. Tension and resentment between Alberto and Delia boil over.
Rosa's condition has stabilized, but as Alberto and Delia argue over how to help her, she disappears. They must find Rosa--and quickly--because her condition could plummet. Next time it will take a stroke of genius to save her life.
A patient’s crazed boyfriend shoots another patient, and Mosca and Alberto try everything to stop the bleeding as the boy’s life hangs in the balance. Meanwhile, Alberto comes face to face with Ilaria, the woman with whom he betrayed Delia.
Ilaria's arrival has come at a terrible time, as Cesare has invited world renowned luminaries to attend his cardiac surgery congress. Expectations--and tensions--are high, as the Church and Catholic doctors struggle with transplantation.
