Cristina lives and works in a big city, Francesco is a lawyer on the small mediterranean island where they both grew up. They live an 'over the ocean' relationship that has become routine. Their way of expressing themselves is diametrically opposite. Francesco needs to talk to fill the space and shorten distances. She, in her kind of autistic silence, has no needs when she is on the island. She just wants to see, touch and hear Francesco. The island is the 'rose' scenario, the only place to live intermittently their love story.
