Written by Rossella Bergo
The narrative is built around several episodes in the daily lives of five characters (three females and two males), taken either at work in the fields or in playful moments set in the local landscape of the banks of the great river and the sea, pine forests and countryside. During daring encounters and surreal meals, the most contrasting human emotions turn into a general holiday, and will lead to the celebration of life in its various aspects.
The short opens with the meeting of three friends / co-workers in a day of celebration that, for one of them, will completely transform her life. Love at first sight, a predestined fate, recognition in the instant of a look, it is love that enters into the life of the two protagonists, and will accompany them in the journey of their lives. How to win the embarrassment of the first meeting except through an invitation to dinner that will be revealed as the best way to lessen tension and shyness? The narrative continues with the return to work in the fields, a misunderstanding between the land owner and jealous boyfriend, and with the resolution of the conflict through one of those episodes that embarrass but which, when viewed from a different perspective and with good sense of humor, dampens any agitation. The end will see the two protagonists go offshore with a very important "baggage" and creates a feeling of rebirth accompanied by the need to honor life.
