Synopsis
In Rome it hasn’t rained for three years and the lack of water is overturning rules and habits. Through the city dying of thirst and prohibitions moves a chorus of people, young and old, marginalised and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks his or her deliverance.
Director’s Statement
At a time when the streets of our cities were deserted, and we were all shut up in our homes, connected to each other solely through screens, it felt only natural to look ahead, wondering what our life would be like afterward. We started to fantasise about a film set a few years later, in a future not too distant from the present. Imagining several different stories, each allowed to proceed independently, in the manner of the ensemble cast movie, which we gradually discover to be linked to one another in a broader scenario. A gallery of equally innocent and guilty characters, a frightened, troubled humanity, afflicted by the aridity of its relationships, tormented by vanity, mythomania and rage, making their way around a city with a glorious past like Rome, which is falling apart and “dying of thirst and somnolence.”
