Lucia is almost 40 years old and is in a toxic relationship with her husband Paolo. They live together in his luxury villa, but the two are evidently growing apart.
Lucia recently brought home a molossus dog, which soon becomes another excuse for their quarrels.
Together they have two children but never see each other; we sense their presence from the heated conversations between them.
We enter Lucia and Paul's intimacy on the day she must once again stand up for the dog and his living spaces: however, she will be cornered by her husband and his dead-end demand for which she will soon have to find a solution...
