In a Rome marked by the shadow of fascism, two lonely souls cross paths on a day that promises to be ordinary but will turn into an unforgettable experience. The story follows Antonietta, a housewife trapped in an oppressive routine and controlled by her dominant husband, who imposes his political ideology in every corner of their home. As the city prepares for an important ceremony in support of the regime, Antonietta feels excluded and longs for a change in her monotonous day-to-day life.
On that same day, she meets Gabriele, a gay neighbor whose life and perspectives contrast radically with hers. He has been marginalized due to his sexual orientation in a hostile environment and is a free spirit seeking to escape the prejudices that surround him. At first, their interactions are tense and out of sync, but as the hours go by, a deep connection begins to flourish between them.
Together, they experience a series of revelations that lead them to question their own lives and choices. As the city buzzes with political fervor and celebrations, they both find an unlikely refuge in one another. This journey will not only transform their way of seeing the world but will also offer them a spark of hope in a very dark context. The story becomes a powerful reflection on the search for freedom and love in times of repression.
