Carmen comes from a difficult past: taken away from her mother during adolescence, she grew up in a foster home. Massimo is an only child, raised in a wealthy and oppressive family. Their only daughter, Giada, 5 years old, was entrusted to the father. Carmen has the right to see her every other Saturday, but Carmen doesn't accept it: she doesn't want her child to grow up without a mother, like she did.

[Giornate degli Autori '23] In a new exploration of the family, the director now focuses on a woman who is denied her role as a mother, faced with an environment that doesn't consider her suitable for motherhood. This character significantly named Carmen refuses to be erased from her daughter's life, in a story structured in six acts that confront the protagonist with her environment, with a clear influence of the emotional style of John Cassavetes. But the use of some animated sequences provides a tale-like tone, a story about feeling caged and denied.
