After her beloved husband left her, the heartbroken wife retreats into an empty wardrobe. A film inspired by a true story.

Couple Daniele and Lisa lived with their teen daughter and seven-year-old son in the historic district of Rome. Looking like a perfect family leading an ideal life, their reality was far from perfect. One day, Daniele leaves their family home, completely emptying his wardrobe. This unexpected turn shocked and devastatingly traumatized Lisa. As a reaction to the event, Lisa matter-of-factly retreats into the empty wardrobe and starts living in there.
