      Una ragazza minuta, pallida, arrampicata su alti tacchi, nella vita di un uomo «senza ombra», la cui esistenza, così normale, si avvicina sempre più al confine con l’inesistenza. E quella donna è l’ombra stessa, qualcosa di oscuro e lancinante al di là di ogni ragione, che conduce tranquillamente alla morte. Una storia carica di intensità, esaltazione e angoscia.
