Sara, her fellow student at university and inseparable friend, revealed her homosexuality to her family, who did not accept her, so she decided to cut all bonds and spend her life travelling abroad. They happen to meet during Sara’s brief return home, as Agata has just decided to set free into the sea a lobster bought in a supermarket. A paradoxical situation, which gives both women a chance to turn their lives around and rekindle a friendship that ended ubruptly.
