Donna Violanta is busy preparing for the wedding of her daughter Laura. The preparations are interrupted by the arrival of Silver, Laura’s half-brother, whom she has never met. Violanta is prey to long-forgotten images of a past clothed in secrecy, memories of a passion she believed she had overcome. Laura and Silver have equally ambiguous feelings and are unable to escape their mutual fascination. Dream, reality and the past are closely interwoven.
