Foreign drama based on the novel by Margaret Mazzantini. Timoteo (Sergio Castellitto), a successful surgeon, is shocked to discover that his fifteen-year-old daughter has been in a life-threatening motorcycle accident. As a colleague performs a dangerous procedure on her brain, Timoteo casts aside his mask of model father and husband to recall a passionate extra martial affair he had before his daughter was born. He met a woman - a downtrodden, destitute, yet vitally alive girl by the name of Italia (Penelope Cruz) - when his car broke down in a squalid urban suburb on the outskirts of the city.
