Adrift in A Daze
Turi grew up while his father was in prison. Now that he has turned eighteen, he feels that he has reached adulthood. He tries to convince his girlfriend Rosa to drop out of school and live with him. Struggling against his insistence, she refuses with all her heart and finds the strength to push him away. Turi interprets this as a demonstration that he was born under a bad star: doomed to live a life without love.

As if in a game of mirrors, father and son face the shadows of their own past.
