A company of inmates of the Sollicciano prison acts, under the direction of Elisa Taddei, in this play who tries to reflect about bodies and their perception.

During the months of the pandemic, the group of inmates and the theater company began an epistolary correspondence, in the course of which the text that was supposed to be their next performance, based on a fairy tale from Basile's collection Lo cunto de li cunti, became the fantastic echo of a slow and difficult transformation that affected everyone. Thus, the film is about metamorphosis and tried to do so by putting the world of fairy tale in constant dialogue with the world of reality.
