What does Bianca dream of during her summers at the country house? Perhaps that her father spends...
time with her away from the piano. Or that her mother stops judging the world with her cynical gaze. Or maybe just that her sister Giulia, with her premonitions, her nightmares
eyes open, disappears forever. And that's what happens. She, the beloved, by pure fate meets
death. The secret mechanism that made their family work falls apart. But what falls apart
It is not only Bianca's private universe, forced to face a restless adolescence,
the abandonment of his mother, the forced cohabitation with his father. As in a spell, the omens of
Giulia's predictions about the fate of the Earth come true. Within twenty years, moving up the species ladder, the
female population of living beings becomes extinct and humans are doomed. Now that the
Time is running out and extinction is near, what is left to save?
