Aphrodite lives in the spotlight, a prisoner of a perfect image built for others. Daughter of a powerful man, promised in a relationship that exists only for the media, she soon learns that appearance is a form of survival.
Behind the impeccable smiles and measured gestures, however, Aphrodite fights a silent battle: control of the body, hunger as discipline, the illusion of power over herself.
When Ares, a man tied to a dark and violent world, enters his life, nothing noticeably changes - yet everything begins to crack. Ares doesn't look at her as fragile, he doesn't try to fix her, he doesn't ask her to be different. He observes her. It remains. It protects without invading.
And precisely this disturbing and unexpected presence forces Aphrodite to look at what she has always tried to dominate: her pain.
Between power, silence, superficial relationships and a past that leaves scars, Aphrodite will have to choose whether to continue disappearing behind perfection or learn to live in her own body.
A sparrow appears in the darkest moments, fragile and stubborn, as a silent sign of possible freedom.
This is a story of control and survival.
Of love that does not save and of presence that remains.
Of imperfect, slow, real healing.
