Inspired by a true story, Like the Wind narrates fifteen years of Armida Miserere's life, who was one of the first women to become prison governor. Suddenly Armida's companion, Umberto Mormile, is killed. To cope with the pain, Armida throws herself on the front line in the fight against crime, governing the most dangerous jails in Italy, while struggling to find the truth about Umberto's murder and to get justice. The film is conceived as a long flashback that highlights the most important moments of her life in the attempt to unveil her mystery.
