Da Napoli a Liverpool, dal silenzio dei genitori alle parole dei figli, dalla magia inconsapevole della seduzione alle controllate omissioni del tradimento, dallo sguardo di chi muore all'allegria di chi rinasce, ogni storia di Troppa importanza all'amore rivela qualcosa su ciò che ciascuno crede di conoscere meglio di chiunque altro: la propria vita. Valeria Parrella torna alla leggerezza della forma breve che ha consacrato il suo successo fin dall'esordio con mosca più balena.
