Living in an Italian refugee camp in 1948, the beautiful Karin meets Antonio, a resident of the mens camp. Though not in love with him, Karin marries him and they soon head for his home village, Stromboli. The village is on a remote island at the foot of an active volcano. When they arrive Karin despairs of the barren land and the absence of people, as many have left, mostly for the United States. She doesnt speak the local dialect and is treated with disdain by locals who see her as an exotic foreigner and a loose woman. After Antonio beats her and locks her in their house, she sets off across the mountains to seek her freedom and a better future.
Enticed into following Antonio, the silver-tongued inmate of a crowded internment camp in 1948 Italy, to his home island of Stromboli, Karin, a displaced Lithuanian, agrees to marry him. However, in the barren volcanic rock Antonio calls home, the dream of a better life soon turns sour, as contempt, hostility, and a daunting language barrier get in the way of happiness. But, only God knows how hard Karin has tried to fit in and reconcile her wants with the conservative inhabitants unwavering beliefs; nevertheless, in vain. Now, as once-silent Stromboli begins to tremble, Karin must summon up the courage to pursue her dream, and above all, her freedom. Still, will Stromboli let Karin escape so easily?
