Rome, the COVID19 lockdown has just ended. Aldo is a 78 years old man who lost his wife who fell ill with Coronavirus during the quarantine. From that moment Aldo remained locked in the house, continuing the lockdown even after the end of the restrictions imposed by the Government. A part of himself died in those difficult days, his emotions, his memories, the joy of living; the love of his life is gone and he couldn’t even give her the last farewell. Normality for Aldo will never return, the life he knew before, the one he spent next to his wife, will no longer exist and therefore his unconscious decides that perhaps it is better to remain a prisoner of that nightmare without waking up again. His daughter Francesca will try with all her strength to encourage her father to return to normal, to metabolize the grief and suffering to continue living. Unfortunately, however, he will realize that the wounds that that invisible enemy has inflicted on his father’s mind will be irreversible.
