On the death of their father, Tesla and her brother Nik find themselves, due to a singular succession agreement, having to live together for a year under the same roof, even though they have not seen each other for more than twenty years. Tesla's children also live in the house: Sebastiano, a very talented cellist, suffering from highly functioning schizophrenia, to whom the woman has dedicated her life and an obsessive and suffocating protection, and Carolina with whom she has a difficult and conflicting relationship. The difficult coexistence will trigger clashes and continuous quarrels between Nik and Tesla, two siblings at the antipodes, and the unexpected birth of a strong bond between Nik and his nephew Sebastiano. Over time everyone will gradually find a balance, until a series of events lead the characters to have to deal with their fears and secrets, in a difficult journey towards forgiveness and acceptance of themselves and their emotional and family ties.
