Gabriele, an actress nearing the end of her career, returns to the city where she spent her adolescence. At sixty‑two, with two divorces behind her and film roles growing scarce, she feels the weight of time and the unforgiving gaze of the film industry. Her unexpected visit unsettles two childhood friends: Marianne, a retired teacher whose memory is beginning to blur, and Silvia, a woman caught between family obligations, the care of her grandchildren, routine, and a marriage worn thin.

Through these encounters, Gabriele glimpses what her life might have been, while her presence awakens long‑buried desires and unresolved tensions.

A psychological and deeply human novel about aging, identity, friendship, and the fragile hope of second chances.
