"My Second Time" is a movie about the importance of choices. Every day, as we live, we face crossroads, more or less visible, that force us to choose: enter or exit, "yes" or "no." It's part of everyone's daily life. There are difficult choices, those that require attention, reflection, and time. And there are easy, immediate ones, which we respond to almost without thinking because "we like it." Choices of the mind and choices of the gut, we might say. Yet the common denominator of choices, whether easy or difficult, is the uncertainty of the outcome.

In love with Beatrice, the ethereal girl of his dreams, Leo divides the world by colours. Beatrice is the red of love but he is forced to confront his own beliefs and fears when he discovers that the girl is suffering from leukemia, a disease that he links to white, a symbol of emptiness and loss.
