Set over two scorching summers in the mountains of Northern Italy, Nymph follows Leo—a young girl working as a maid in her grandmother’s timeworn agriturismo. After a tragedy lays waste to the gentle rhythms of her childhood, Leo must contend with the extraordinary pains, pleasures, and metamorphoses of growing up. When an American teenager named Dolores arrives at the hotel looking for a job, Leo faces yet another transformation: her first love.
