Valtellina. Novembre 1994. Il settantenne Ulisse Bonfanti attende Mario Ferrari davanti al bar e lo ammazza a picconate. E, alla gente che accorre, dice di chiamare i carabinieri, che vengano a prenderlo, lui ha fatto quello che doveva. Erano quarantotto anni che Ulisse mancava da quei monti.

Clara è la figlia di due contadini e trascorre l'adolescenza a correre tra gli odori aspri ed erbosi delle piantagioni, e a rubacchiare oggetti insignificanti nei negozi per divertimento e noia.
