'Forgive me, I'm so tired. Don't look for me.' That is all Giulia leaves before vanishing. Her husband Giovanni, a typesetter who lost his job to new technology, finds himself shipwrecked in the empty house. Their love was made of small things: breakfast together, a kiss before work, an embrace among the roses she pruned. Looking for answers among her books, he picks the thickest, Anna Karenina, and becomes convinced his wife has found a passionate lover, a damned Vronsky. Jealous and bitter, he shuts himself in his print shop to make a unique copy of Tolstoy's novel as a last pledge of love.
