After helping his brother (Alessandro Gassman) save two women from drowning, film exec Pietro (Nanni Moretti) returns home only to find that his wife has suddenly died, plunging him into a quiet chaos of grief as he assumes sole parenting duties of his 10-year-old daughter, Claudia (Blu Yoshimi). Valeria Golino co-stars as Pietro's beautiful sister-in-law, Marta, in this tender and thoughtfully understated portrait of mourning and survival.
