When a young woman reaches a pharmacy and pronounces the code name “Mask 1522” (In Italy 1522 is an emergency number for victims of abuse, stalking and violence) Cecilia, the pharmacist working that night, finds herself in a battle far more personal than expected.

This short film wants to explore the loneliness of the victims of abuse and the need for a supporting society around these people, that too often are left alone to fight this war. Particularly during Covid-19 pandemic and with the several lockdowns, more victims have decided to denounce their abusers, but this doesn't mean it's over.
