March 2020. Fabrizio, a photographer and filmmaker who lives in Luxembourg, returns to his family in central Italy after his father has suffered a heart attack. It's the beginning of the pandemic, the country is in lockdown. Fabrizio is not aware that one of the toughest trials of his life has just begun and he will be plunged into three months of isolation and hardship. The surgery necessary for his father looks difficult, Fabrizio is faced with the possibility of losing him. He devotes his time, energy and love to helping his mother, to relieve her of the burden of anguish for her husband's plight. Visits to hospitals are prohibited, freedom of movement has been restrained and Fabrizio tries to protect his mother as much as possible, even if he has to deny her the hugs that would be a great comfort to her. A few days before Easter, his father finally returns home. The operation, much to the relief of the family, was a success. But then the events take on another dimension. The virus has entered the house to choose a new victim. The tragic personal drama of a son who feels the urgency to document his most intimate pain, the loss of a mother and his utter sense of helplessness when confronted with the despair of a father who has lost the love of his life. A poignant but essential document about the devastatingly personal consequences of a global scourge.
