SYNOPSIS

Although Virginia never had a good relationship with her father, she feels duty-bound to visit him every day at the clinic where he lies in a coma. She is a woman obsessed with illness, and symptoms reveal more to her than words. In the hospital room the bonds Virginia has with her mother and her sister are put to the test at a critical period in her life, when the question of motherhood is starting to become urgent. Then a new patient, a mysterious and not unattractive man, appears in the next bed, and little by little, he and Virginia build a complicity that escapes from the hospital sterile hospital ward to their own private place. Where, perhaps, when everything seems lost, something unexpected and authentic can grow. An original and frank piece of writing, an excellent portrait of a woman in crisis.
