SYNOPSIS

The first couple holiday of some young adults with Down syndrome. Between intimacy and misunder standings, enthusiasm for apossible future and pondered disappointments, lightness and a sense of responsibility. In the background, an umbilical cord to cut,the one with their family

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
“The suspended time of the protagonists’ holiday overlaps at times with that of other eras, reworking the doubt that a couple’sdynamics are repeated cyclically, without stopping. To break this ritual you need a backlash, someone who comes out of the chorusand begins to plan the future with awareness. The story gives voice to this concrete assault of imagination.”
