À une époque où les modes et les recettes de bien-être font fureur, où les voyages et l'exotisme suscitent la frénésie, Ralph Waldo Emerson nous renvoie à l'intérieur de nous-mêmes pour goûter la sérénité. Selon lui, si l'expérience des autres et les distractions peuvent nous inspirer et nous distraire sainement, elles ne nous mènent nulle part si nous n'acceptons pas cette réalité de la condition humaine : la solitude de l'âme.

A parte qualche amico e l'affetto materno, il mondo di Andrev è quello marginale di una madre che vive tra i resti dell'anticonformismo degli anni Settanta. E una relazione violenta dopo l'altra.
