Futura ha vent'anni, parla poco e osserva molto, affacciandosi al mondo da dietro i suoi occhi viola e verdi. Conserva le emozioni ben schedate in un archivio, nell'armadio di fianco al letto. Le ha messe in ordine alfabetico, ma solo per il gusto di aprirle a caso. Intrappolata in una relazione insana, si logora e crogiola nel dolore, vittima di una dipendenza affettiva dalla quale sembra non vedere né volere vie di scampo. Come si può desiderare l'amore se non si sa riconoscerlo?

I due fratelli vivono in una provincia dove per decenni hanno trivellato per cercare petrolio, ma hanno trovato carcasse di cristiani e bombe inesplose.
