Le viol est-il un tabou dans notre société ? Cinq femmes violées, cinq archétypes de viols perpétrés aujourd'hui, cinq cas inspirés de faits réels et de personnes ayant existé. À tour de rôle, les cinq victimes vont devoir répondre à un interrogatoire et prouver leur "innocence". Ce questionnement qui semble d'abord utile et légitime devient obsessionnel et oppressant. C'est le questionnement de la police, celui de la justice, celui de la société, le harcèlement et la ronde infernale de questions qui vont fondre sur la victime, jusqu'à l'absurde, qui vont faire naître le doute, rendre la victime suspecte et la faire apparaître comme coupable.

Ci sono poeti che non saranno mai letti. I motivi che possono determinare questa mancata opportunità sono molteplici. Ad esempio, un poeta può decidere di non divulgare i propri scritti, facendo in tal modo della poesia un'esperienza privata e discreta. Un altro, invece, può stabilire di non comporre poesie, rimanendo sì interprete (nella vita quotidiana) della propria indole poetica. Un altro, ancora, pur nutrendo il desiderio di pubblicare le proprie opere, può trovare soltanto l'indifferenza da parte dell'editoria.
