Federica is a very rich young lady: she feels imprisoned
by this privilege, it keeps her from living an adult life. Her companion is
ready to start a family but her former lover comes back on the scene. Her family
isn't tied down by normal, everyday life: affections that are already in a
conflictual state are even more destabilized by the death of her paternal
figure. Already overcome by the heredity she is about to receive, by her
complicated relationships and by guilty feelings, Federica searches for comfort
in an imaginary world, where reality becomes perfect and marvelous.
