Plot: Assunta, a tenacious survivor of the devastating 1980 Irpinia earthquake, once enchanted audiences as the regional champion of the slow waltz. The seismic event not only destroyed her world but also took away Tonino, her beloved husband and dance partner. Since that tragic day, Assunta’s vibrant life has faded into a monotonous and nostalgic routine: she spends her days shut in the house, chain-smoking and watching dance shows on TV. Every day is exactly the same as the last, until a fateful conversation with Francesco, a kind 20-year-old neighbor, ignites a small spark of hope and sets the stage for an extraordinary change in her life.
