"A series of windows lit, enigmatic in the evening light. An apartment where you can see the boxes of a move, some abstract paintings on the walls, a bottle of red enamel in the bathroom, a table set for two. After a year of separation, Luca and Laura meet again, full of all the embarrassment of those who loved each other and then lost sight of each other and certain that nothing will surprise them in the other: they know each other all too well. But they don't deal with life, which is never taken for granted. Nor with a skilful and suspended script, which suggests - between a word and a glance - that something will change. And it will change them. "

Known to the general public above all for being the "Claudio Settebellezze" of the last series of commercials crodino ("Bar Characters"), next to Owen Wilson, in the short film by Maria Carolina Salomè expresses its remarkable qualities: it is intense, allusive, ironic and extraordinarily natural in front of the camera.
