In an Italian city marked by the decay of the 1980s, a 20-year-old young artist finds himself trapped between his ambitions and the harsh reality of his surroundings. Laden with dreams but also insecurities, he begins to depict his life in paintings filled with color and anguish. However, his world takes an unexpected turn when he falls madly in love with a woman who brings joy to his existence, symbolizing everything he yearns to achieve.
She, in turn, is complicated and full of secrets, ensnared in her own fears and past experiences. As their relationship progresses, the protagonist's internal struggle intensifies: should he continue pursuing his passion for art, or dedicate his life to this new connection that illuminates his dark reality? The tension between love and ambition pushes him toward an emotional abyss.
The protagonist's journey is woven with a strong sense of despair and the quest for identity, as his desire for freedom clashes with his need for belonging. In an environment that oscillates between fantasy and disenchantment, he will be forced to confront heart-wrenching decisions and learn that, in life, sometimes one must take the risk to "leap" in order to discover who they truly are. This is a provocative story of love, passion, desire, and the longing to transcend.
