Agnese and Stefano are profoundly different. She is only seventeen, lives with her mother – a harsh and devoted woman – is a regular church-goer and is about to take a vow of chastity to last until marriage. He is twenty-five, has a violent temper and a difficult past behind. He works as a warden in a car park that borders a Roma camp. Their unexpected meeting engenders a true sentiment, made of little stolen moments and mutual help.

Marco, an ordinary man in his early 40’s, Zoe, a 25 year old bold young girl, and Laura, an icy and elegant bourgeois middle aged lady, are trapped in a labyrinth of fragility and inner torment.

Confronting their inner demons won’t mean a permanent solution to their suffering.
