Beschreibung

“Those messages are crumbs, filling an empty pot, it’s just the beginning. Esmeralda is a fatal beautiful lady like Morgan le Fay, she’s offering her mystery without knowing why. Paolo is the fearless man who wants to conquer quietly. They look like two teenagers.” Esmeralda, a young successful interior designer, can’t sleep on a hot summer night. She’s bored and she thrusts her arm forward to take her phone on the bedside table. She starts scrolling through posts on Facebook, without thinking about anything, it’s just a game. She touches the phone by mistake and she adds “a new friend”, Paolo Marotta, a school friend, who has become a warehouse worker, a loser, a night wanderer, living a life that doesn’t suit him. That’s how it starts the illness of the modern world: the chat. Virtually, they talk about their life and their bad moments; they reveal their secrets, feelings, desires, hopes, temptations and forbidden dreams…. The silence of a virtual world lived through text messages becomes a necessity, an unintelligible addiction, what will it happen to them?
