Anna, a French journalist at the peak of her career, drops everything to pursue a small story. A mad and creative theater figure who died in the 1980s ignites in her passions and dormant doubts. She finds herself in a town in the Marche region, where her research on Roberto Cimetta begins. That carefree and rootless artist, perpetually traveling to European festivals, and his story captivate Anna so deeply that she imagines scenes, relives situations and impressions, trying to sort out her past.
