Devil's Choice

Meet MARGARITA...and to understand her life’s struggle you must meet NINA, the matriarch of the Scali Family. Living through a time and culture where girls are not as valuable as boys, MARGARITA trudges from adolescence to adulthood dragging NINA’s heavy rules behind her. Only once does her Mother loosen the reins of control, when she bestows on MARGARITA’s paid-for-husband, the rights to bridle her daughter for the rest of his life. There is little redemption in MARGARITA’s life as she is set apart from everyone else by her obedience and...the little bit of magic she holds in the palm of her hand. As if she needs another reason to break her spirit, her power brings superstition that runs riot and the tag il diavolo that sticks.But it is this little bit of magic that deals her a hand that only she can play and which survives time’s drain on her body but not her mind.
