Growing up as an enfant prodige in the showbiz wasn’t easy for Pietro, particularly because now that he is 30 he is unemployed and has no prospect. He is stuck in a pile of lies made up by his flatmate, Nicolas, that to avoid paying rent says Pietro has a terminally ill disease. Absorbed by his new act, Pietro meets Claudia, a true terminally ill patient, and the lie quickly becomes the reason of their bond. A bond that Pietro cannot give up.
