Anna is intelligent, beautiful and has an interesting job, but suddenly none of it matters. After five years her relationship with Davide sinks into a swamp of betrayal, lies and blackmail, and her life falls to pieces. She stops sleeping and eating, smokes and drinks every night to fall asleep, and compulsively searches his phone, his chats and his social media without knowing what she is looking for. For a year she remains a prisoner of what she calls the kingdom of idiocy, unable to tell anyone. Her account is a confession, in the form of a letter, to her closest friend Valentina, and in the end it is her body she holds on to.
