Jacob Berger’s film shows a day in the life of a family. People meet and leave, and wonder, will they find themselves again? At daybreak, Serge believes he has committed a crime. Pietra realises that she has been betrayed around midday. At one o’clock 8-year-old Vlad feels lovesick for the first time. The day is spent observing, looking, avoiding and meeting each other. One day, three different perspectives: the same evening twilight, the same loneliness. And there is always the stranger who crosses their path. How will Serge, Pietra and Vlad find each other?

Un giorno. Una famiglia. Tre persone, tre tende, tre cammini. All’alba Serge crede di commettere un crimine. A mezzogiorno Pietra scopre di esser stata tradita. Alle ore 13.00 Vlad sente per la prima volta dispiaceri d’amore. Vlad ha otto anni. Durante tutto il giorno Serge, Pietra e Vlad si osservano, si cercano, si evitano, non si trovano e si incrociano. La vita è un puzzle. Serge cerca la punizione che dovrebbe assolverlo. Pietra decide di abbandonare tutto. Vlad cerca di salvare quello che gli è rimasto della sua famiglia. Tre volte lo stesso giorno, tre volte lo stesso silenzio, tre volte la stessa solitudine. E tre volte uno sconosciuto che incrocia il loro cammino. Finchè arriva la notte. Serge, Pietra e Vlad si incontreranno mai?
