Claudia, saleswoman in an underwear shop, lives in the suburb of
Rome. She’s got an eighteen years old daughter, Nina, with which
she shares everything, including the sorrow she keeps inside since
three years: Marco, their “man-of-the-house”, died, together with
other 9 people, during the breakdown of a bridge in the region of
Marche, while he was coming back from a vinyl market, his
greatest passion.
Life goes on sadly: customers gossip about Claudia’s disgrace, the
press looks for her only to benefit from that terrible matter, her
eldest sister Katia throws herself away into very nasty
relationships, her mother Marisa can’t start a new life after her
wedding has fallen apart, Nina can’t let herself go to her first
sexual nor sentimental experiences…
All the women around Claudia are unable to have a peaceful
relationship with a man, each of them in a different way, but
maybe all of them brought together because of their guilt towards
Claudia. In the meantime, she tries to distract herself by working
hard and spending her time with Martina, her chatty best friend,
aware that the grieving is still difficult to overcome.
One evening, Claudia strongly feels the need to talk to her
beloved husband. She makes herself pretty for him and she even
sets the table for dinner. And Marco, just like in a (all too real)
dream, comes out in front of her…
