Le colpe degli altri

After twenty years abroad, Guido has come back to work as a gardener in the mountains where he was born. Guido is like the valley’s villas gardens: old-fashioned and full of secrets.
And when he finds the body of an unknown woman in an abandoned garden, Guido finds it very hard to keep his secrets safe and pretend he has no past.

In a neglected garden that is part of a large villa occupied only for two weeks in the summer, Guido immediately notices two things that should not be there: a bright yellow, unmistakable Ginkgo Biloba leaf – with no Gingko trees in sight –, and a blonde young woman lying dead on the ground, wearing a long, elegant dress of the same blue as her eyes, open wide and staring blankly. There is also that hint of an old, familiar scent which only he, thanks to his sharp sense of smell, has noticed on the crime scene. Even though he is trying to keep a low profile, that unknown young woman and her sad fate become an obsession for Guido, and he cannot resist the temptation to start a personal investigation. With only the Ginkgo Biloba leaf as a clue, something that for some reason he decides not to mention it to the police, he begins a search through the valley where he was born, where everybody knows each other but people prefer to keep quiet, a valley forgotten by the rest of the world where seemingly nothing ever happens. But where, however, things are stirring up and long hidden secrets are about to be unburied.
