CURSED SPRING
by Paolo Cammilli
Description
In Settimo Naviglio, a grey village on the outskirts of Milan, peopleget bored. Yet a small spark is enough to ignite everything. Breaking the monotony is an old score between a 35-year-old who’s a bit out of shape and a naughty little girl. Carlotta is young, breathtakingly beautiful, proud, and sweet to whoever she wants. Geneva, her best
friend, is ambitious and willing to do anything to achieve her goals. Together, they feel masters of the world and play with fire. But there is Fabrizio Montagnèr, who daydreams and breaks their balance. All three are bound by a dark secret that forces Guinevere to look down in front of her best friend. Meanwhile a strange feeling begins to
pulsate between Carlotta and Fabrizio. A tender love or a ruthless game to slaughter?
To make everything more murky, two bloody and cruel facts and a truth that resurfaces mercilessly, between desires, memories and obsessions. Between unforgettable love stories and insane passions, dangerous friendships and heinous crimes, "Damned spring" forces us to see the rubble of our country. A society adrift where everything is spectacle. The morbid Italy in which even a miserable village can redeem itself, becoming the stage of evil. A piece of life: mocking, moving and true. A tender and cruel battle between the opposite choices of life, between the ecstasy of revenge and the melancholy of forgiveness, between ferocity and sweetness.
