Along the streets and squares of three villages in Monferrato, Serena dances alone, humming tunes from Argentine milongas. From the people, she only receives glances of curiosity and, very few approach her to ask her the question “Why do you dance?”. She hopes someone will dance with her and be get infected by beauty, which is joy and welcome. But everyone thinks she’s crazy. Finally, resigned, Serena picks up her suitcase and is about to leave the town.
