A small community of scientists, unreachable for eight months of the year, looks to the future of the human species, searching for things it still does not understand. Does not know. Things above and below the ground. The arrival of Maria, a stubborn and unconventional genius, at the most isolated base in Antarctica will disrupt the plans of mission leader Fulvio, her mentor. Fulvio and Maria are similar, they are connected, they are accomplices. But as often happens, everyone wants the same thing, until the day when each one wants their own. A scientific, ideological, and emotional conflict.
