A writer draws the portraits of two friends, the writers Rocco Carbone and Pia Pera, who both died before their time and were bound to each other by a deep friendship. Carbone, angular and sharp-featured, was inclined to deal blows, hounded without rest by his inner Furies and obsessed with simplifying. Pera, with the looks of a charming English young lady, was inclined to receive them, sensitive and prone to illusions, and in the years of her illness her timid boldness turned into courage. Between memory, biography and reflection, the narrator searches for the right distance from which to tell their lives, and from which to tell their friendship.
