We’re in the 70s.
Pietro, a writer looking for inspiration, sets out to find a job as an attendant at an asylum to draw from the ill stories of the patients and gets hired.
Among the patients, one in particular catches his attention: David, a man in a semi-vegetative state that confesses he killed the woman he paints in all of his portraits.
Pietro notices a striking resemblance between the painted woman and Giulia, a girl he frequently sees around town. The two of them will try to find out about David and his link with the woman he claims he has killed.
