Alessandro teaches musicology at the University of Strasbourg and is also a volunteer reader in hospitals. He shares his apartment with his 15-year-old daughter, Irina, and his anarchist brother Luigi. Everything is not always rosy at Alessandro's life for three main reasons: he is a widower and has never really recovered from the death of his young wife; his brother is some kind of parasite who refuses to sell his paintings to capitalist speculators and so to contribute to the cost of the household; and Irina, whom he has raised alone since she was five months old and always felt close to, is rapidly changing from little girl to teenager and wishes to be treated as such.
