Turin. Dario, an ambitious and determined lawyer, spends his life in his chambers, in court and with his long-time girlfriend Laura. Milan. Dario’s brother Ercole is searching for his path in life. Maybe he doesn’t really care. But one day he meets Clara and his desire for her blows away his laziness, gets him thinking, causes him to act. His senses become sharper, his eyes see what they never wanted to see. But life is merciless and each hero will have to suffer. A novel that tells of love, sex, madness, pain and destiny. Ruthless writing and touching sensitivity. The Italian novel is shining once again, thanks to an author at the service of what he has to say, of his tormenting heroes battling for a moment of happiness.
