December 2002, one year after 9/11.
Emma Stern, an Italian journalist, dies along with other hostages when the plane on which she is flying back to Venice is hijacked by terrorists. After roaming for days from one country to the other, exchanging fuel and food for the release of some passengers, the plane is eventually shot down off the Israeli coast.
Corrado Giusti, her husband, has to deal with his agonizing loss but also with the disturbing truth that emerges from the diary Emma has been able to keep during the long hijacking and give to Joyce, a young lady she had met on board, when she was released.
Translation from the Italian by Francesca Diano
