Two young children and their father form a strangely united and courageous family after being abandoned by the most important woman in their lives, their mother and wife. Yet, in all the awkward family's bungling imperfections, good intentions, desperate humanity, inconsolable loneliness, fury of emotions sometimes hurtful and cruel, the unspoken lesson of the importance of loving «well» has kept their bond strong and alive. Nevertheless, Stefania suddenly returns. Tommy's mother reappears just as recklessly as she had left them, upsetting precarious equilibriums and defences, churning up buried pain, shattering dreams.
