A COMMON STORY

PLOT

Erika and Mauro live a quiet life in the countryside with their daughter, Irene. Their days are built around simple routines and familiar habits. When Irene leaves home to study abroad, the house suddenly feels empty, and the couple’s peaceful life begins to change. Erika struggles to find meaning in her new life. Mauro, shaped by a strict and authoritarian father, tries to cope with the emptiness. As they struggle with this new reality, old wounds and forgotten desires come back to the surface.
