Carlo and Elisa are a successful couple.
He’s a university professor and writer facing a creative block; she’s a brilliant, sharp-witted journalist, known for her internationally published editorials. They live in Rome, moving between accomplishments and routine, affection and something that might be fading.
In search of new energy, they travel to Morocco with their lifelong friends, Anna and Paolo, and their thirteen-year-old daughter Vittoria—bright, curious, a little eccentric.
Tensions soon rise: Anna is trapped in her role of mother, Paolo has withdrawn into silence, and finds in Elisa the only space where he can truly be himself.
Vittoria begins to look at Carlo with eyes far too mature for her age.
And then there’s Blu - a 23-year-old philosophy student, Carlo’s pupil - and his lover for the past year. She’s there too. By chance, or by choice.
Her presence threatens to upend the delicate balance, bringing hidden truths to the surface - truths no one is ready to face.
In a distant, still, sun-drenched landscape, relationships stretch, unravel, and transform.
Because sometimes, it only takes the smallest crack to bring down everything that once felt unshakable.
