Details: Adrian is one of those young men who seem more mature than their age: elegant, ambitious, determined, always impeccable. Carla, on the contrary, with her thoughts in the clouds and a bag full of books, finds order in her own chaos, walking casually towards life's appointments, often five minutes late (which is actually at least ten). She works as an editor in an important publishing house, he is a lawyer in one of the most prestigious law firms in Milan. Both spend their days reading, with one not inconsiderable difference: he reviews dry contracts, she passionate love stories. When a stroke of lightning overwhelms them, Adrian and Carla, without fully understanding why, feel the need to dive into each other's existence and, shortly after, to go and live together in a picturesque villa in the heart of Milan. Everything seems perfect. But even the most beautiful things break. First a simple crack, then a wound that silently widens in the fabric of everyday gestures; eventually the pain comes. And the things that break quietly are the hardest to fix. A truth that Adrian is forced to come to terms with the day when a terrible suspicion leads him to doubt Carla's feelings, to question every certainty and to do things he will regret, until he convinces himself that he has to start all over again. Five appointments to relive, one after the other, years later, the moments and places that have marked their history: this is Adrian's last attempt to try to heal the wounds that he and Carla have inflicted on each other. to fall in love with the person who most of all made us suffer?
