AmicheMai begins with the birth of a calf in a small barn, introducing the character of Anna Ricca, a passionate veterinarian whose life is split between managing the farm and her many family roles. She is, at different times: a loving wife, a caring daughter, an anxious mother, and a patient grandmother. The sudden death of Gino, her ill father, gives Anna the chance to finally rid herself of Ayse, her father’s devoted caregiver, with whom she has never been able to get along. Ayse will return to Turkey with the old bed that Gino left her as an inheritance. Anna and Ayse will embark on a long journey through the Balkans with the bed in tow, a journey that will change their lives and their relationship forever.
