La perfezione del tiro tells the tale of the twisted and cruel psyche of a sniper in one of the many wars in the Middle East. His secret lies in concentration, patience, staying still, in the control of his breath. It only takes one successful shot to give him the joy of a job well done. Only then does he come down from the roof of the building he had hidden on for the killing and go home to his mother, whom the civil war has driven to insanity.
Then however enters Myrna, an adolescent he has hired to care for his ill mother. Her nascent sexuality disturbs the main character. Living in the same house, they limit themselves to a paradoxical platonic love, while their life continues between the returns of the warrior from his manhunts (also of women and children), their walks hand in hand when they blush every time something troubles them, the fear growing in the girl as she gradually comes to realise the dark side of the young man…
