A Family

Vincent was born fifty years ago near Paris, but has cut off every bond with his roots. Maria, fifteen years his junior, grew up in Ostia, but no longer sees her family. Together they form a couple who does not seem to need anyone and lead a secluded existence in the indolent and distracting city of Rome, an ideal cradle for those who want to live away from prying eyes. In addition, Vincent and Mary are good at camouflaging themselves: when they take the metro, they sit neatly, tenderly embraced. Sometimes they dine at the restaurant, more interested in looking into their eyes than food in their dishes. When they come home, they make love with the passion of the beginnings, in a suburban apartment that she has carefully furnished. Yet, if you look closely, everyday life is not as happy as it seems. Arriving at what her instinct tells her to be the last pregnancy, Maria decides that it's time to form a true family. The choice leads to an inevitable consequence.
