This play features a young man who recalls the funny or sad vicissitudes that led him to choose the faculty of mathematics, making him discover the beauty of an apparently cold and detached subject.

Lorenzo, a young man just over twenty, finds himself studying engineering since he is the son of engineers. Mathematics seems to him an abstract world and the exams of Analysis I and Analysis II are an avalanche of numbers and formulas as cold as Alaska. He does not know what he would like to do when he grows up but certainly he does not want to be an engineer. He runs away from Valentina, his girfriend, to follow Nora who is a singer in love with herself and her own voice. Between fears, flights and passions Lorenzo meets Professor Primo who, as if by magic, captures him into the art of theoretic mathematics and its challenges which to the young man become a perceptual and solitary joy. Numbers start having a meaning for him and their language talks about an abstract but equally captivating world that becomes sentimental, mysterious, necessary and often unfathomable, just like life and love itself.
