The project offers a further insight to the work of Elena Ferrante dealing with the tale of friendship between two women. It follows step by step upon their individual growth, and upon the conditions of separation and closeness that their relationship goes through. On the background lies a cluster of city/world fragments, filled with contradictions from the past, present and future, who’s boundaries and ruthless shape has yet to be defined. The plot weaves together in a heart wrenching narration both the biographies of the two women, and the recent History of a Nation in turmoil, through the stories of the two protagonists.
