Lucia lives alone with her 17th years old son Gabriel. Her husband left once their first daughter Anna, died of leukaemia, 8 years ago. Lucia works in a Hospice, where she befriends a retired professor, Redetti (Paolo Bonacelli) and other patients, who are unaware of her personal tragedy and that will become “teachers” for her. Over time, they help her to understand how to “live the unliveable”. Giulio Redetti in particular, will talk to her about his own experiences, showing her how to deal with her angst. Gabriel, Lucia’s son, handles his sufferance for his sister’s loss adopting a fearless way of living, in order to prove to himself and to his mother that to live include the risk of dying. Giulio Redetti’ and Gabriel’ choices overlap inside Lucia, driving her to a new awareness.
