The film tells of a dormant reality, but increasingly evident in the everyday life of contemporary society: that of violence against women within couple relationships. Through the story of Valentina and Giorgio and other dysfunctional relationships, the film tackles the issue under different aspects, always ready to surface in the folds of a relationship: physical violence, the inability to make the right choices, possessiveness and resignation. Because, as they say, love and violence are friends, neighbors and, often, even bed companions.—andreapetrini
