It’s 11:45 pm in a quiet town of the Italian Riviera. The DJ of a local radio show is flooded with requests for songs about the moon. The “live” studio of the radio station has no windows, therefore the DJ cannot admire the extraordinary event that is taking place on the outside. That night, the moon is unusually larger and brighter. A phone-call from a man who claims to be an astronomer interrupts all romantic dedications. His explanation of the strange phenomenon makes the DJ panic and freezes the audience... but will it be true?
