When Maria, a Mexican immigrant, becomes pregnant, she keeps silent, fearing that her husband Giorgio, who thinks he’s sterile, will suspect her of infidelity. This silence divides the couple. Between doubts and desires, each of them seeks the tenderness they can’t obtain from their partner in a stranger. Fascinated by these new acquaintances, their sentimental drifts lead them to the periphery of love, where only trust can prevent them from getting lost.

I: Quando Maria, un’immigrata messicana rimane incinta, tace, temendo che Giorgio, che si crede sterile, sospetti che gli sia infedele. Scende così un silenzio che divide la coppia. Tra dubbi e pulsioni, entrambi vanno alla ricerca della tenerezza che non riescono più a trovare nell'altro. Lasciandosi trasportare ai confini delle emozioni, corrono il rischio di allontanarsi per sempre, e solo una profonda fiducia gli permette di ritrovarsi.
