SYNOPSIS
The story of Elsa and Michele, a respectable well-off couple, but the bottom drops out of their world. Michele suddenly confesses that he has been out of a job for two months, having been dismissed by the very company he himself had created years before. Shocked by the crisis, Elsa suddenly seems to draw upon new energy to face the situation. Michele, on the other hand, completely discouraged by his vain attempts to find another job, completely loses control, swinging from futile wild hopes to listless apathy. The abyss between Elsa and Michele grows greater and greater, finally bringing them to the verge of a break up. Life for Elsa and Michele will certainly not be easy as they face the unknown and very different future, yet perhaps that future may even be for the better.
