Le récit d'une tentative aléatoire, celle d'un jeune metteur en scène napolitain appelé à adapter pour le théâtre de Sarajevo, Les Sept contre Thèbes, tragédie grecque écrite par Eschyle au Ve s. av. J.-C. Nous sommes en 1994 et, autour des répétitions, la guerre fait rage. Un conflit fratricide semblable à celui que traduit, en des temps immémoriaux, la pièce du grand dramaturge d'Éleusis. La représentation n'aura d'ailleurs pas lieu : la détérioration du climat conflictuel yougoslave l'en empêchera.

Delia est auteure de bande dessinée. Elle vit depuis de nombreuses années à Bologne et demeure toujours, à quarante ans passés, célibataire . Elle est subitement rappelée à Naples, sa ville natale, car sa mère y a été retrouvée noyée dans les eaux du Golfe. L'instruction policière conclut à un suicide. À l'inverse, Delia n'accorde aucune confiance à la thèse officielle, persuadée que l'exubérance et la vitalité de sa génitrice ne s'ajustent nullement à un acte aussi brutalement désespéré et catégorique. Elle mène donc sa propre enquête. Les événements et la reconstruction fragmentaire des derniers jours de sa mère, notamment les communications téléphoniques avec un personnage énigmatique, mettent brusquement en lumière des faits antérieurs que Delia avait enfouis dans sa mémoire. Ainsi, du souvenir d'une altercation violente entre ses parents au sujet d'une relation ambiguë. À la suite de quoi, elle s'était éloignée de sa mère... Au fond, Delia ne se sent, dans l'immédiat, guère préparée à démêler un passé trop douloureux. Elle prend, en dernier recours, la décision de rejoindre Bologne, laissant dans l'ombre une conclusion aussi tragique que mystérieuse.

The film tells the short life of the great Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi. A noble, his birth's in Recanati, and soon Giacomo learns to study Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and English in the rich library of his palace that his father built. Giacomo, however, possessing an inquisitive, restless spirit, would like to know to travel abroad to widen his views and enrich his knowledge, as was usual for European landed gentry in the 19th century. Still this desire of his lies at odds with his parents (his father, while possessing a sensibility akin to his, is too bound by the social conventions and the expectations tied to his role as 'Pater Familias'; his mother, on the other hand, is too busy shoring up the household declining fortunes to even care about intellectual aspirations). So the poet begins to write his first works, reflecting about human condition, coming to the conclusion that unhappiness is a costant factor of human existence, and that in life there is no way to remedy this problem. In 1820s, Leopardi can finally leave the native Recanati, and travels to Rome and Florence where, however, his high expectations of intellectual rewards and public recognition are frustrated. Suffering from repeated instances of unrequited love: chiefly that he felt towards the Countess Fanny Targioni Tozzetti, contribute to Leopardi's negative view of life and human experience. Finally he moves to Naples, where a physical decadence led him to death.
