Finding similarities with her past in the disappearance of Leila (Silvia Pacente), Anna throws herself relentlessly into solving the case, initially underestimated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office as a simple voluntary removal, but over which lies, inconsistencies and unconvincing testimonies seem to hover.

The cast is enriched by Maurizio Lastrico in the role of Gregorio, Leila’s stepfather, Pier Giorgio Bellocchio in the role of Roberto, Anna’s ex-husband, and Gianfelice Imparato, who plays the Chief Prosecutor Marcello Trifoni, very close to Anna, with her hard and protective at the same time. Made with the contribution of the Apulia Film Fund of the Apulia Film Commission Foundation, the series returns the photograph of an unedited and contemporary Taranto, to frame a choral story where the stories of the protagonists intertwine with a territorial fabric far from stereotypes.
