A month of Light

In the palliative care ward at Molinette Hospital in Turin, Ivan is living through days he never wanted to count: brutal shifts with the patrol unit and stolen visits to a mother who is slowly slipping away. It is there, among corridors that are too quiet and lights that offer no mercy, that he meets Maya: young, bright, wearing a medical coat and carrying a look that seems to understand even what goes unsaid. Ivan mistakes her for a nurse. Maya lets him believe it. And in a place where everything speaks of endings, something sudden, fierce, and unbearably tender begins between them: a love made of stolen minutes, softly closed doors, small promises, and truths put off for later. But Maya is not only the girl who appears whenever the world becomes too heavy. She is also carrying her own secret, her pain, the suffocating presence of her parents, and a time slipping away faster than either of them can bear. Ivan, who has already lost his father without even getting the chance to say goodbye, tries to stay standing for everyone… without realizing that sometimes the greatest love only lasts a month. And that very month can change forever the way a person survives loss. **A Month of Light** is an intense, cinematic dramatic romance where tenderness becomes an act of resistance, and even the smallest gesture can turn into the last form of salvation.
