Desolation and silence. The mist rises slowly amongst the ruins of a city, making everything more hostile and ghostly. A little girl plays in her room. In front of her, the jigsaw puzzle of an enchanted castle while rust, rubble and devastation surround her. The disarming silence makes it impossible for the girl to take a rest, but as soon as she hears her brother Yuri screaming... the nightmare begins. Weird characters with green overalls and anti-gas masks zip through the dark alleys of the building. An operating theatre comes to life. Latex hands and scalpels go down on Yuri's defenceless body, and suddenly silence takes over the whole scene, again, returning the girl and the other thousands of victims to the miserable reality in which we've all locked them up: oblivion.

In 1989 Federico Zampaglione (Rome, Italy) founded the band Tiromancino, which released numerous albums. He first foray into cinema came with the song "Due Destini," composed for the soundtrack of Ferzan Ozpetek's Ignorant Fairies. He later began writing and directing music videos, including for "Un Tempo Piccolo," which won the Cinecittà Award and the Cinefestival in Ravello. In 2006 Zampaglione made his directorial debut with the black comedy Nero Bifamiliare, which played many festivals and picked up awards at, among others, Giffoni and the Festival of Youth Culture in Salerno.
