Details: «The misunderstanding», as Carlo and Margherita call the doubt that has cracked the surface of their marriage. Carlo was seen in the university bathroom with a student: "She felt bad, I helped her," he tells the rector, his colleagues, his wife, and Sofia confirms her version. Margherita and Carlo are not a couple in crisis, their understanding is tenacious, their confidence the dangerous game between the sheets. The words between them still burn, as do the gestures. They would call themselves happy. But that alleged betrayal turns into an obsession for him, and becomes a powerful alibi for his wife's fantasies. The truth is that Sofia has the youth, the freedom, and perhaps even the talent that Carlo pursues for himself. He would like to write, he never succeeded, and he got the position as professor thanks to his father's influence. However, Margherita closed the door to ambition by exchanging her career as an architect with the stability of a real estate agency. For her, everything gets complicated one morning, during a physiotherapy session. Andrea is the lightness that distracts her from her family projects and that triggers the question of this story: if we are true to ourselves how unfaithful are we to others? The answer creeps into the quiet strength of the bonds, held together in these pages by Anna, Margherita's mother, the illuminating beacon of the novel, one of those characters capable of conveying the meaning of existence. In a very lively Milan, between the old streets told by Buzzati and the new skyscrapers that cut the horizon, and a Rimini in which the poetic sentiment of our times survives, the story becomes so intimate as to leave no escape.
