On a rainy day a fifteen-year-old girl skids and falls from her scooter and is rushed to the hospital where her father works as a surgeon. Waiting motionless in his green scrubs beside the operating theatre, while a colleague takes on the operation, Timoteo, an esteemed professional, lukewarm husband of a brilliant journalist and distracted father, is suddenly laid bare. Speaking silently to his daughter Angela, he reveals a painful secret: a scorching summer years ago, a squalid suburb, a meek, derelict woman with the outsized name of Italia, and a passion that dragged him far from his bourgeois self.
