Amor
“When I look at Rome, I see my mother. It's been the case since she died." It's a summer evening from many years ago: the city is empty, and the final of the soccer world championship is underway. A woman, Teresa, reaches the Tiber and lets herself go into the river. The abyss swallows her while Virginia, her daughter, in the dark of the night travels through Rome: she wants to find her and save her. Virginia must cross the depths of the waters, of history, the myths, the vital brightness and the disasters of a timeless Rome. Only then can she see her mother again, surfacing from the blackness of the Tiber, flying towards Amor, "the planet of care”. Surrounded by water, its streets, squares, and fountains are reminiscent of those of Rome and the animals roam freely.
