This European existential drama utilizes complex symbols inspired by abstract psychological theories to explore the effects and reasons behind a young classical actor's decision to stop talking. No one knows why Massimo has vowed to stop talking. Other than speaking dialog from classical plays, Massimo refuses to say a single word. His father, a classic-literature professor believes it reflects to a disappointing love affair. His new girlfriend thinks Massimo is rebelling against his mother, a poet. A director learns of Massimo and commissions his mother to write a play about him. Though Massimo plays himself in the play, and does speak, he returns to silence when the play is finished.

In 17th century France, a theater troupe is allowed by its patron to go to Paris to produce an erotic play. The head of the troupe dreams of fame while his wife, the leading actress, and a new leading girl fall for each other.

Giulia, giovane e ribelle, vive la sua adolescenza con spensieratezza. D’improvviso, però, qualcosa s’interrompe: un vuoto silente, una violenza senza scampo la legherà inconsapevolmente a un misterioso femminicidio, che la neve ha saputo celare nel tempo. Un’anima passata e un corpo presente e vivo, come in una sorta di transfert, si ritroveranno a percorrere la stessa drammatica violenza vissuta in due epoche differenti ma profondamente simili.
