Synopsis

Vincent was born fifty years ago near Paris, but cut off every bond with his roots. Maria, younger than fifteen, grew up in Ostia, but no longer saw her family. Together they form a couple who does not seem to need anyone and lead a secluded existence in the indolent and distracting Rome of our day, an ideal cradle for those who want to live away from prying eyes. In addition, Vincent and Mary are good at camouflaging themselves: when they take the metro, they sit close, tenderly embraced. Sometimes they dine at the restaurant, more concerned with looking into each other's eyes than the food in their dishes. When they come home, they make love with the passion of beginnings, in a suburban apartment that she has carefully furnished. Yet, that day-to-day appearance so normal lets on about a terrible project of life brought forth by him with shrewd determination and accepted by her by virtue of an unconditional love.
