La fotografia che manca

A cropped photograph, a photo studio to close, and a secret kept for twenty-seven years. When Chiara returns to Salerno to clear out her late father's photography studio, she expects nothing more than ten days of hard work and a bittersweet walk down memory lane. Assisting her is her niece Sara, a talented young graphic designer eager to uncover her family's past.
