What happens

Dafne è un film del 2019 diretto da Federico Bondi. Dafne è una ragazza di trentacinque anni con sindrome di Down che vive con i suoi genitori. L'improvvisa scomparsa della madre manda in frantumi gli equilibri familiari: Dafne, che trova nell'affetto di chi le sta intorno la forza per reagire, ora deve occuparsi anche del padre, sprofondato nella depressione, oltre a elaborare il suo stesso dolore.
