sapprête à classer laffaire. Désespérés, les parents de la jeune fille persuadent lavocat Guido Guerrieri denquêter à son tour. Simprovisant détective, ce dernier décide de tout reprendre à zéro : convoquer les témoins, chercher les failles, les indices, les coïncidences. Mais les récits quont lui offre demeurent désespérément trop lisses. La nuit, donnant libre cours à sa mélancolie naturelle, il vagabonde seul dans la ville et se réfugie parfois dans le bar de Nadia, une femme fascinante au passé ambigu. Au fil des promenades, des conversations et des confidences à son vieux sac de boxe, une conviction simpose : la solution se cache dans les non-dits, dans le silence et dans le vide.
