Marioni introduces an unusual concert, in which he gives up conducting the orchestra to accommodate a visually impaired musician. The orchestra is arranged among the audience, and the musicians will perform without visual references, relying exclusively on their ears.

With the lights dimmed, the conservatory orchestra gives a moving performance of the famous piece known as Adagio di Albinoni. As they play, Marioni listens, and his emotions take him back in time to relive his daughter's bicycle accident and aftermath.
