Dafne is a thirty-five-year-old woman with Down syndrome who lives with her parents. She has a simple life: a job she loves, co-workers who appreciate her, friends, and an outgoing personality. The sudden loss of her mother disrupts the family equilibrium but Dafne manages, one step at a time, to create a new relationship with her father. The extraordinary interpretation of Carolina Raspanti and the work of director Federico Bondi manage to address with delicacy, two very challenging themes of the human condition: being born with an extra copy of a chromosome and losing a loved one.
