Director’s note:

The film, which began as a story about a specific mafia investigation, during the shooting has transformed its essence into a portrait of the protagonist, through his way of life and his personal isolation. The story tries to make the viewer interested in events far from him, triggering their curiosity through the unknown and the discovery. Of the initial choices, only photography has maintained its being: it represents the protagonist, immersed in black and white, as a character of his own articles.
