The absence of a reciprocal desire causes a heavy and untrue behavior. They are practically two puppets. But one day something special happens in their life. A new existence starts, based on a more careful attention of the one for the other. The search of a love' s desire finally becomes credible and needed. And day by day the two rediscover themselves and learn how to really love each other.
