The encounter of two teenagers at the threshold of the twenty-first Century will lead us to revisit the last twenty years’ period as reflected by the passions and hopes, illusions, anxieties and doubts of two young lovers, who find themselves growing up in an Italy put at crossroads. On one side history’s great narration overflowed by the perils and contradictions of globalized civilization, the great themes of our times as seen from Italy: climate change, the Age of political and military imperialism at first, digital and information-technological at second; the unravelling of a national political class – Italy as a gym for past and present revolutions. On the other side, every day’s life of two teenagers, rich and complex, who cannot but filter the scene unravelled on History’s canvas through their local and family-bias, the impulses and wounds received during the development of their personalities, which will unite to separate them in the moment going to decide their story. Chiara and Gabriele, you and me, all of us and those we love, will separate themselves as to begin their own journey, deviated, in order to reunite at the point where everything seems vanishing into the darkness of void, the critical moment which opens to the possibilities of infinity.
