Destiny gave me just two cards, and I will play them blindfolded...Destiny will wait and see, giving me the illusion of a path that I can choose, or will act and show me the one it has determined already...'' The play goes on stage. The success is overwhelming, but it also marks the end of the relationship between the passionate Alex and the enigmatic Lisa.

Time goes by, relentlessly, playing with the emotions of Alex and the expectations of Lisa, until undeniable truths, hidden in an old and crumpled book lying on a stall of a little bookshop market, will dramatically affect their life paths.
