Luca is twenty-three years old. He lives with a loving, adoptive family. He moves with his friends between the suburbs and the city center and has a girlfriend with whom he shares a young but mutually significant love. Luca is searching for his path, at an age when everything seems both possible and lost, and in this search, he lives a double life. One night, after a seemingly chance encounter, Luca's life's trajectory is shattered, broken by an act of blind and senseless violence.
