Gemma (Ilaria Occhini) – an elderly widow – and Angela (Dorotheea Petre), her caretaker – a young Romanian recently arrived in Italy – live together in the same house. In their loneliness they unconsciously search for one another, until, slowly, day after day, they establish a kind of friendship. But suddenly a violent, unexpected and tragic event happens: Angela’s husband (Vlad Ivanov), still living in Romania, has mysteriously disappeared. Angela would like to leave immediately to look for him but Gemma, with the selfishness typical of her age, doesn’t want to let her to go and be alone again. But Gemma is also a woman with a tender heart and something incredible happens: Gemma and Angela leave for Romania together. They find themselves at the delta of the river Danube, each looking for her own truth.
