The history of the Certosa of Trisulti from the years of the Second World War to the present day.  The main protagonists are Don Claudio, a young herbalist monk and the very young refugee Ersilia.

A problematic love arises between the two, halfway between earthly passion and religious vocation. Then, the plot develops intertwining with current events. Sophia Vitti, a young professor of literature and Don Marcello, current Prior of the Certosa, are looking for a precious volume of herbal recipes written by Don Claudio himself. Inspector Masina of the Frosinone police also intervenes in the affair. By chasing the book they will reveal some inviolable secrets. Furthermore, the Certosa di Trisulti itself becomes the object of contention by enigmatic characters who, by ensuring its management, want to distort its historical and religious value.
