As a teenager who has recently learned about intimacy and lust, you often follow your mischievous friends riding their bikes just to chase after the most ravenous yet mysterious woman in the Sicilian town: Malena Scordia. Since you met her, Malena has become the inspiration for your imagination and fantasy.

The town's gossip, jealousy, and cruel rumors swirl around her, as her beauty makes her the object of both desire and resentment. You always watch her from afar, fantasizing, protecting her in your mind, and growing up with an obsession for Malena.

You have grown up enough to make decisions on your own, and you decide to meet her, to take the place of her deceased husband to protect her from the cruelty of the Sicilian town.
