Who is persecuting Bea? Who is forcing her to stay locked in the house for fear of being attacked again? Who killed her husband? Bea has seen her tormentor in the face, but she can't remember anything about him because of her head trauma. Or does she choose not to remember? What she is going through is a difficult moment: Bea is persecuted by tax agents due to the debts obtained by her husband. They take all her possession to repay the debt and Bea begins to slowly see the house she lived in turn into an empty nightmare. But she Bea isn't really alone. The house that at first sight seems uninhabited, is actually frequented by mysterious presences to which Bea is unable to make sense of. They are also victims of the same madman who killed their husband with a hammer. They want justice. But why through Bea? And the child that appears to her, who is he? There are no children among the victims ... Between psychological hallucinations and dystopian realities, will Bea be able to find a glimmer of concreteness to get out of the vortex of her own desperation? At what cost? Perhaps only by trusting a police inspector ready to hold out his hand between blurred memories, premonitory dreams and primordial intuitions, Bea will finally find peace. Perhaps.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
The film is about a very big problem in Italy... TAXES... in the film all the story, all the characters are suffering one way or another of the injust taxes system. In order to protect my production company the taxes colecting agency has a fake name "TRIBUTA PAX"... just a fantasy name... but the problem, the sentences that the characters will say are very REAL.
