Giovanni is a psychiatrist and has his practice attached to the family home. Every day he lends his ear to the neuroses of his patients and shows understanding for the most curious stories.
On a Sunday Giovanni wants to go jogging with his son, but the project is prevented by a patient. Giovanni drives to a man who has already attempted suicide and who has now called him about a serious problem. When Giovanni arrives there, he tells him about his suspicion of cancer . Back at home, Giovanni finds out that his son Andrea had a fatal accident while diving with friends. The family falls into deep grief, but life goes on. Giovanni begins receiving patients again shortly after the funeral, but the sessions change. Giovanni is often out of the question. He ponders the missed opportunities to hang out with his son. The sessions with the patient who led him away from his son on the unlucky day are particularly difficult. His self-pity even leads to alienation from his wife, who suffers as much from the grief as he does.

Andrea had taken the photos to show the girl her room. Arianna now wants to hitchhike to France with a friend. Giovanni, Paola and Irene drive the two to the French border that night.
