Welcome to the life of a local journalist, and the curious tradition of the “walk-in” – when a member of the public turns up with a tale to tell. The newsworthiness of these stories is... well... mixed, to say the least. But every journalist remembers their weirdest and most wonderful walk-ins.

Quarantott'ore dopo essersene andata, Elena Alberti riappare così com'era sparita: senza una parola.

Che non sia più la stessa, l'ha capito persino il cane. Ma in fondo, anche prima della sua fugace sparizione, chi poteva dire di conoscerla davvero? Probabilmente non Lorenzo, uno chef stellato in crisi creativa convinto che il loro amore fosse invincibile.
