Palermo, 1995. A couple begins an unusual day. She is forty years old and tormented by thoughts of the children she never had; he is a police commissioner dedicated to his job. He has a driver who takes him everywhere, even to interrogate a boy who knew the two victims of a murder. Faces, bodies and situations alternate between the world of the woman, that of a child who has been kidnapped by the mafia, and that of the boy under interrogation. Then everything evolves and the situation precipitates, revealing the outlines of a story that will affect them all.

Declaration
film director
“I wanted to make a movie about a crime that really happened, but that was more than just the account of a news report of the time. I was interested in exploring the nature of the characters and the situations, in order to bring out a drama that stood on its own feet, above and beyond the actual facts, since the starting elements were very strong and the cause and effect relationships were evident. I also wanted to go in the direction of a dark story, in which the appearances reveal cracks that becoming increasingly evident in a game of disclosures.”
