Ilenia, a quiet and introverted teenager, has always looked up to her older sister Dafne, her complete opposite and role model. When Dafne finds herself trapped in a toxic relationship during the crucial period of her final high school exams, it is Ilenia, symbolically stepping into her sister’s shoes, who helps her recognize the abuse and find the strength to break free. The short film was developed through a school workshop focused on preventing gender-based violence.

Blanca Ferrando is a young woman who became blind at the age of twelve, due to a dramatic fire in which her older sister Beatrice died and which was caused by her violent boyfriend, Sebastian. This tragedy made her develop a very strong sense of justice to the point of pushing her to join the police. Blanca is helped by her most trusted friends: her guide dog Linneo, a female bulldog who protects and comforts her in the most difficult moments, and her beautician friend, Stella. After overcoming her work challenges, she finds herself facing sentimental ones: torn between two men, Inspector Michele Liguori, a man of many secrets, and Nanni, a young cook.
