A man and a woman try it for the last time. In a closed room, suspended in the light, behind the empty words and the sound of heels, they look for the end of the tangled lines that bind them.

"The strongest tie of love is the one that you must give up and the one that you learn to hush up, but it is a real obsession because the unspeakable makes itself heard" (Monica Stambrini).
