The show is inspired by and reworks a mafia news story that occurred in Palermo on 14 November 1982 and which led to the death of the young Sicilian policeman Calogero Zucchetto,  who in that period was working with the Palermo Mobile Squad in the search for mafia affiliates. The point of view of the show is from his girlfriend Maria Lo Bello, tormented in the years following the loss by the question: “Could it have gone differently?”. For the entire duration of the show, the protagonist responds unaware to this question, with a true and ironic, fragile and disenchanted stream of consciousness, recounting the meeting and pursuing the love that led her to get engaged to Calogero (Lillo for friends) Zucchetto.
