After a car accident, a physically disabled man is taken in by unhealthy people.

A man recalls his initiation into the mafia. Memories guided by the capo who took him in after an attack and who would guide him until his last breath.

It begins like a perfect everyday life: shared meals, laughter, tender gestures. Small cracks start to appear — a gaze that drifts, a gesture too sharp, a cup falling. Tension slowly rises, almost imperceptibly. Arguments linger, silences grow heavy. Then violence erupts, sudden but silent. The victim hides, tries to call for help, but the aggressor catches them. Time goes on outside: the city moves, neighbors laugh, indifferent. A final jump cut shows the aggressor with another woman in the same apartment — the repetition of inevitability.
