Marco and Anita discover they are expecting a child. Finally a ray of light in Marco’s life after his heartbreak following the loss of Leo, his first born with his former wife Clara. Suddenly, however Perla, the new owner where the couple lived until the tragic accident, bursts into Marco’s and his ex-wife’s lives. The mysterious woman claims she keeps feeling a strange presence and hearing the voice of a child that is tormenting her and her son. Marco therefore finds himself torn between the ties of the past and an unwritten future.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
There are houses in Venice where the sun enters through the cracks, capturing the image of what it encounters and reflecting it on the walls. The process is like the camera obscura. Marco and Clara lived in a house like this and it is in the image of a canal, with wooden boats and the odd gondola passing by, that something more than a simple landscape is reflected. Looking more closely, in the beams of light you can see something else. And that is where the camera starts in its search for young Leo, to help him leave.
