Giuliana is unstable, not quite knowing anymore whether her role is wife, mother, or just another person in the world.

Against the grim backdrop of Ravenna’s barren industrial wastelands brimming with flame-belching factories and deleterious chemical fumes, Giuliana, a deeply dejected young mother on the brink of a total existential breakdown, seeks solace with one of her neglectful husband’s handsome associates, Corrado Zeller. Alienated after that horrible car accident and utterly disarmed by him, Giuliana embarks on a hasty, shallow affair hoping to overcome the insurmountable obstacles of her profound, yet quiet, mental anguish; however, her spiritual catharsis still seems so far away.
