Logline
Before life runs out, Ornella decides to confront her aging sister Teresa with a painful untold story that might change their close bond forever.
Synopsis
The two sisters Ornella and Teresa have cared for each other through their whole lives. Teresa is now in her life’s twilight and having problems facing fate, while her memory is slowly fading out. Before it’s too late, Ornella decides to confront Teresa with a painful untold story that goes back to their childhood and might change their close bond forever. The film is a warm portrait of an Italian family, seen through the eyes of Ornella's son, Manu. With humour and tenderness we discover how time forces us to look behind and confront ourselves with the choices we made in life.
