Details: A rainy day and birds littering the streets, a fifteen-year-old girl slipping and falling off her moped. An ambulance ride to the hospital. The same where the father works as a surgeon. It is he who tells about the terrible and painstaking encirclement of fate. The father waiting, motionless in his green tunic, in a sitting room adjacent to the operating room. And in this expectation, frozen by the terror of an extreme event, this man, who for years seems to have settled into his quiet existence as an esteemed professional, as a lukewarm husband of a brilliant journalist, as an absent-minded father of an ordinary teenager, is suddenly stripped bare, flayed, forced to tell himself an estranged and violent truth. Talk to his daughter Angela, talk to himself. It reveals a painful secret, which seemed faded by time, and which instead comes back vivid, excruciating with places, smells, obscure calls. With surgical precision Timoteo now reveals to his daughter the imbalances of his life, of his heart, in a journey backwards in the inner stations of a loving passion that dragged him away from his own bourgeois identity, towards another unarmed and obscene self.
