Giovanna is a bookeeper in a company which packs chickens. She is married to a man who has a precarious job. First she starts being curious about a young man who lives in the block opposite hers, and then she falls in love with him. The relationship between the two becomes much stronger when she starts to find out more about him from an old man who bursts into their lives: he’s lost his memory and he finds refuge in Giovanna. The old man is obsessed with the memories of some things that happened in the past, in the long past autumn of 1943.
