On 23 May 1987 Vincenzo, a 14-year boy from Calabria, sees in an abandoned church a statue of the Madonna weeping. None seems to believe him, until a few days later the whole village witnesses the first apparition of the Virgin. From that moment on, Vincenzo's life will never be the same.
Sometimes eroticism lays hidden in that moment suspended within the space that separates two bodies which cannot touch each other.
Paolo and Mia, an introverted clerk and a unconventional pregnant woman, go on a journey looking for the father of Mia’s unborn daughter.
Alba has Down syndrome and was left in the hospital when she was born. Thirty families rejected her before the court decided to entrust her to Luca Trapanese, gay and Catholic.
