Bianca lives a simple life: few close friends, the school pretty difficult faced with a determinated mind, and her family, imperfect as all families are. She is very closed to her elder brother Carlo, growing up with him side by side in the continued absence of their parents busy at work. Carlo has recently moved to Paris to study. As soon as back from the university for Christmas holidays he breaks up with her long-time girlfriend, the gorgeous Greta, a Bianca’s classmate. From now on Bianca becomes a victim of mean and bad things, first almost insignificant and then increasingly serious. Behind all of them obviously there is Greta, too flipped out over Carlo’s break to nastily haunt his sister. Little by little Bianca sinks into the abyss of loneliness and only her friend Mila, a careful and thoughtful classmate, stays close to her. Only when Bianca is very far away from home she will find the dark and striking truth hidden behind her fall and the strenght to rise again and start from scratch.
