Irene ha ucciso, forse. Ne è convinto il tribunale che l’ha condannata a quindici anni di detenzione, ne era convinta l’opinione pubblica anche prima che la sentenza venisse pronunciata, e persino lei si ritiene colpevole benché la sua memoria di quel giorno sia molto sfocata. Del resto Irene aveva il migliore dei moventi, dato che la ‘vittima’, se così si può chiamare, era l’assassino di Giulio, suo figlio. Caso chiuso. Ora, scontata l’intera pena, la donna è di nuovo libera e può provare a ricostruirsi una vita nella sua città, Genova.
