Are we alone or does the possibility exist of a good relationship which makes us grow and feel fine?

Luca and Laura, disengaged for one year, have a dinner to investigate their own feelings. They both believe to know each other perfectly, but something unexpected will happen, causing a domino effect. Our protagonists are going to struggle in adapting and understanding the movement’s origin to each other. Till the next morning. Directed by Maria Carolina Salomè
