Marinella
In recent days, Rome has been the scene of an unusual event: when it rains, the manholes exhale a dense steam of unknown origin and composition. No one knows that those who breathe in the mysterious substance will have to deal with what they repress, their darkest instincts, their anger. Not even the Morel family. Since Cristina’s death in an accident a year earlier, the love of her husband Thomas and their son Enrico has given way to a forced cohabitation, while the youngest of the family, Barbara, would only like to see them united again as they were before. The accident could have been avoided, both Thomas and Enrico know it. Instead of taking responsibility and moving on, they stopped talking to each other. Now they are two souls full of rage, trapped in a Rome that resembles them: dark, nervous, on the verge of exploding.
Sister Caterina
전쟁 중에 가톨릭 여자 학교에서 크리스마스 케이크를 둘러싸고 벌어지는 순수, 욕심, 환상이 가득한 이야기. "pupil"은 라틴어 "pupilla", 즉 여자아이라는 뜻에서 파생됐다. 이 이야기는 20세기의 가장 유명한 작가였던 엘사 모란테가 1971년 크리스마스를 맞아 친구 고프레도 포피에게 쓴 편지에서 영감을 받았다.
