Plot
Laura comes to the painful realization that her husband, Andrea, no longer harbors any affection for her. She feels as though she is fading away, barely existing in his eyes. Despite her deep love for him, Andrea's attention seems solely focused on Delfina, another woman residing in their home. Laura's attempts to revive their relationship prove futile, even after confessing to occasional infidelities.
During a hunting expedition, Andrea accidentally shoots and kills Laura while aiming at a pheasant. However, he fails to notice her lifeless body lying beside the prey and instead moves closer to Delfina. In a haunting moment, Andrea addresses Laura by her name, unaware of the tragedy he has caused.
