Eleven-year-old Mattia daily experiences the illness of his father, who, in his early forties, is slowly beginning to lose pieces of his memory. But just as the world begins to fade, he chooses to stay close to what truly matters, strengthened also by the love of his wife Michela. Together with his son, they embark on a journey of shared daily life, sudden laughter, and silences that speak. A story that celebrates the power of love beyond time and memory. Based on a true story: In 2021, the protagonist of this story, a boy named Mattia Piccoli, was named Standard-bearer of the Republic by President Sergio Mattarella for “the love and care with which he daily follows his father’s illness.”
