Description
A terminally ill woman dying in a hospital in Redondo Beach, California. A Colombian teenage girl who has to face an extreme test alone. A young Welsh physicist and rugby player who has to take up service at CERN, in Geneva. A Sicilian boy on a very risky mission in the North. A disillusioned postal worker and dull family man in the Soviet Union. A Chinese thief waiting to serve her sentence. A young Australian Aboriginal becoming a man.
The lives of these seven people, who have never met or known each other and live thousands of miles apart, are united by a common destiny with an eighth man: their story in fact culminates on the day of John F. Kennedy's murder in Dallas.
Precisely then, each of them faces the ultimate meaning of their existence in a personal yet shared moment, while life does not stop, and the world goes on as it does every day...
