You are looking for love! Rachele laughs at the stranger with whom she chats online. And she leads us to discover the only feeling she knows – the poisonous bond which unites her parents. In public they seem tenderly in love, but behind closed doors, it’s all possession, fear, submission and pain. Rachele wants to be different, but can she really be so, when the only form of love she knows is violence?

Cos’è l’amore? chiede Rachele, 25 anni, chattando. E partendo dai suoi genitori che ballano alla festa per il 25° anniversario di matrimonio, Rachele ci accompagna nelle dinamiche dell’amore che spesso nasconde violenza sottomissione possesso. Marchiata dal legame malato che unisce suo padre e sua madre, cercando la propria strada di libertà nell’amore, Rachele vuole vendetta e uccide il cervo alpha a cui suo padre non ha mai osato sparare.
