Synopsis
Asked by a mysterious admirer to make a portrait of famous older actress Donna T., David is reluctantly allowed to take a seat next to her and the dialogue to begin. Moments of her life and of his, both sad and funny, moments of remembrance, of loss, of understanding and tenderness arise to reveal two existences intersecting each other in the same orbit.
