In the 1920s, the Fascist regime was slowly casting its dark shadow all over Italy and Mussolini forbade the celebrations of the 1st of May. From the windows of a Milanese townhouse different looks intertwine: the enquiring one of the middle-class girl, the enthusiastic one of the young maid, and the disenchanted one of the other servants, by now used to the deceptions of life. The story repeats itself in the architecture of the building as if it was a script played on a stage.
