Laura and Giorgio love each other, and try desperately for a child, a wish that does not seem easy to fulfill.
At a certain point they are confronted with a tragic choice.
A man offended in what he’s got most dear that tries to find a solution to his dilemma, and on the other side a woman that feels an intense need to become a mother.
What choice will allow them to still find a way to happiness?
