Paolo, a still young man, husband and father of a family, is diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s. A terrible diagnosis, which he and his wife Michela initially try to counteract by reliving places and memories of the past with her, almost cheerfully, while trying to spend more time with their son Mattia, to whom he doesn’t have the courage to tell the truth. We follow them on their difficult journey between shared happiness, experiences to have before it’s too late and the awareness that the love that has been given is never lost.
