- Overview
- Dante and Loredana have been together for over twenty years, united by a shared secret. Once a year, they shed their everyday selves: Dante becomes Suzanne and Loredana transforms into Marcelo. Suzanne enjoys freedom in a renowned gay club, while Marcelo indulges in Milan's exclusive swinger parties. For one night, they escape their structured lives, defying norms. But secrets carry weight, and one night, after returning from their separate escapades, they face a crisis that threatens their carefully constructed world. A truth emerges that could either strengthen or tear their bond apart.
