Only a mother is able to kill you at all times with an half sentence.
Three generations, three women: a mother, a daughter a grandmother are in the same space, comparing, speaking, revealing secrets. They are dominated by that unspoken that characterizes every relationship between mother and daughter. The dimension is daily and virtual, it is the representation of an all-female household. A family as something that you are bringing, as a tortoise with its carapace, which follows us everywhere, almost haunts us and from which there is no escape, even thousands of kilometers away. A dialogue that is both intimate and political, in search for truth, origins and identity.
