A letter of dismissal suddenly reveals the reality of the new world hidden beneath the
myths of flexibility and communication. In order to give a shape to this shock, to find the
lost words and the possibility of thinking about a future, the protagonist of this story finds
himself thrown on a dizzying journey from present to past and back again, and forced by
his own confusion to find his own way following traces that are as feeble and vague as the plots of certain psychedelic novels he read in his teens.
This rush through the years will bring back to light embarrassing public and private truths, like the military secrets of a father who was involved in the darkest pages in the history of the Italian Republic, or the desires of a teenager suspended between clumsy sexual explorations and revolutionary urges. Stories that emerge from the abyss of a civil war that has wrongly been defined as “cold”, that was able to divide families and spill blood on thestreets, mixing up violence, hope and utopia, yet was fought on the surface of a world that had already changed in the deep, and was already shaken by the seeds of our present made of precariousness and mirrors of seduction.
