And so Adriana gets in touch with a silent world, where it seems there’s no possibility to communicate. How to stay close and give affection to those who don’t even recognize us anymore? Every second for Lydia seems to be similar to the previous one, each face seems similar to another one, the passing of days – so important for us – for her does not matter anymore. And yet, Adriana continues to visit her, to look for a contact, to stay close to her, trying to make her remember her name or the names of her grandchildren. She tries to make her smile, which would be so important for her.
