LUZIA is going to be fifty years old and has just met Ivan, who inspires her and gives her proofs of love, even if sporadic. But there is the dizziness of imminent death, a secret, and the promise disintegrates. Ivan disappears – for LUZIA it is an abyss, a bottomless pit. She will hang on and face the unknown. This is the story of LUZIA and a transformative experience that will liberate her, the profound metamorphosis of a being who accepts that there is probably no other way out, except for the optimists.
