Vittoria has the perfect life. She is twenty-one, has a large house and many friends. She doesn’t care about the fact that her mother ignores her and her father died when she was very young. Never mind that she doesn’t remember anything of her childhood and feels constantly alone although surrounded by people. Every day, she wears a mask, that of the dutiful daughter, good friend and model student. That’s fine by her. At least until she finds the shards of a broken ceramic music box: she doesn’t know who it belongs to but it suddenly makes her feel as though she, too, is somewhat broken and interrupted. As soon as she starts trying to put it back together, childhood recollections surface, she hears her father’s voice and relives moments she has buried in her memory. She has no idea where all this is coming from. And yet she knows that these fragments will allow her to discover that it is our frailty that makes us into what we are, that broken things can be mended and become even more precious.
