Then Toni, who is engaged to Gaettano’s shy little sister Anna, shows up in Sicily. Gaettano, who naively places loyalty above common sense, once again resumes that dangerous friendship, even getting involved in Toni’s criminal undertakings. When Toni and Anna’s wedding turns into a bloodbath, the enraged Gaettano swears revenge - which Vera, who is now heavily pregnant, desperately and fearfully tries to prevent. Gaettano, to Vera’s horror, continues on with his vendetta, in which innocent people are killed.
