Claudia and Flavio were once passionately in love, but all of that is over. Now, in their fifties, they must venture anew into the world of love and dating once more but for Claudia confronting the end and accepting a new beginning isn’t so easy. Claudia is unwilling to let go and forget the life she’s built with Flavio, while Flavio, eager to move on, soon finds himself in a relationship with a much younger woman. Claudia soon reconnects with Nina, a student from her days as a professor.

Hans Schabe is a man who lives a hallucinatory existence in which real life mixes with his fantasies and obsessions. The paranoia that has taken his soul hostage is the engine of the film. From childhood to death. The particularly delicate theme, the possibility of living and knowing everything from the inside of Hans touch and test the sensitivity of the viewer. No third person who narrates, no external eye that interprets. Only Hans and his visions in a state of hallucination.
