A small town by the Venice lagoon. Lorena is a middle- aged, overburdened, working-class, family woman. She is proud of her reputation as a serious, selfless woman and devoted mother. One day, at a local fair, a healer on stage identifies her as the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. Lorena and the crowd burst out laughing, but an old Countess in a wheelchair, in a semi-vegetative state, gains consciousness seeing her and cries for the emotion of meeting Marie Antoinette. The Countess’ caretaker begs Lorena to play along: it is the first time the woman woke up in months! Lorena, who can’t say no to people in need, pretends to be Marie Antoinette for the lady. And from this moment Lorena begins to secretly play Marie Antoinette more and more often for the old woman in her crumbling villa, isolated in the middle of the lagoon. She brings props, she comes up with new acts and ideas... She claims that she is just happy to help, but the more she comes back, the more she uncovers a playful, childish, free side of herself that was unknown to her up to this point and that now demands to exist. In this villa between the land and the water, Lorena unexpectedly comes closer to her deep desires and discovers the beauty of getting lost.
