Struck

When Vera is diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time, she moves back in with her cantankerous and entrepreneurial father, Zeno. It is the first time she has slept in the family home since her mother died, of the same cancer, almost a decade earlier. Wandering through this house which vibrates with solitude, Vera stumbles upon Zeno's most surprising secret: a novel. Vera herself is a writer, but she hasn't published work for years. Confined now to Quaderni, a village in the province of Verona, and haunted by signs of mortality, the discovery of her father's private fantasy world presents an unexpected opportunity. Constructed between family visits, hospital appointments, and through fragments of memories, conversations, and the kernels of stories yet to be written, Struck is at once a delicate portrait of a family navigating life's catastrophes and a gently defiant celebration of the act of writing.
