Anna has become everything that was expected of her: she has a modest but steady
job, she is dynamic, affectionate with her family, her friends and her partner Alessio,
with whom she has decided to have a baby. Perhaps the only thing missing is the
courage to assume responsibility once and for all concerning her future.
A future with the boundaries of an office, of an ever-expanding city, with the delicate
hues of a train that takes her from the outskirts into the center and the brighter hues
of an apparently serene relationship. However, when Domenico suddenly steps into
her life, all these boundaries dissolve and, for the first time, she focuses on love, the
love of desire and passion.
But love often deals with clear lines and boundaries too. Those of the body, above
all, that Domenico teaches her to discover and love. Then those of his marriage: he
has two children with his wife Miriam.
Domenico and Anna’s affair is a whispered rebellion as precariously balanced as
their lives: secret meetings, arguments by cell phone, lies, caresses curtailed by the
end of the lunch break, the thrilling sex experienced in a motel room rented by the
hour.
But when Anna decides she wants a lot more, the lies crumble and the balance is
lost…
