The news report of the death of his brother puts Andrea into a state of sharp pain and anguish. Andrea is an artist and designer and his anguish continues along, nourished by his unexpected sense of guilt. In fact, Andrea had not returned to his home town for months to visit his ailing brother and to console his family. Now he is coldly alone and facing himself. He has to leave and go through the funeral, death... Not even Anna, his woman companion, can be particularly helpful. He could be helped only by his creativity and his inner world, which have not ever called on him to face external reality courageously.
