Lorenzo Maggi is an ambitious lawyer who has just taken on a big deal with Russia. Until now he has had everything – a reliable business partner, Paolo, a glamorous girlfriend named Silvia, a beautiful flat in the centre of Genoa, and a career well off the ground. In life however, it doesn't take much for everything to suddenly assume another dimension. Lorenzo collapses in the street and finds himself in a hospital where he is presumed to have a brain tumour. Until the doctors either confirm or reject the terrifying diagnosis, the kiss of death forces him to face questions he had never asked until now. And though he is given a helping hand by Giovanni, who shares a hospital room with him, it is primarily up to Lorenzo to find a way to deal with the oppressive situation. "Lorenzo's story is a metaphor for my poorly masked desire to make a film about relationships between people and about how they change according to our state of health, regardless of whether these are close or distant relationships," says the director.
