Umberto, 91 years old, doesn't understand why he can't normally hug his daughter and wonders what he has done wrong.
In the San Giuseppe retirement home many elderly people have died due to Covid and the restrictions on meetings with relatives have become very strict. Now they have bought an inflatable structure to let people hug safely.
