This story is about Carla, her love for Bruno, and the gorgeous land where they grew up, Calabria. Its tastes, colours, and scents make it look like a fairyland where everything seems possible. However, negligence and corruption are everywhere, thoroughly concealed, and the land is dying due to a mysterious virus: nothingness. This story is about a woman who could leave but decides to remain.
