The day Riccardo receives a phone call, his sister - Irene - is only a bothersome thought, a memory angrily chased away. He has never forgiven her for writing about him in the novel that made her famous. Now, Irene is in a coma and Riccardo finds himself having to spend time by her side.

It is the story of a man's transformation, a tale of awakening, of finding the courage to put aside the greatest of pain and taking care of what is left. The author in conversation with: Andrea Visconti, L'Espresso / La Repubblica
