Emmanuel

Michael, at the end of his endless conversation with Antonia, tries everything and deludes himself into thinking he has almost succeeded in making her change her mind...But then, seeing her adamant, he appeals to all his rationality and proposes a strategy to her for the near future.The performers are Riley and Antonia.The soundtrack is composed of instrumental pieces and covers of "La canzone dell'amore perduto (The Song Of The Lost Love)" by Fabrizio De André.

TRANSCRIPT HEREBut what is Emmanuel doing? How is he coping with the distance from home and Antonia?The boy is 600 km away from Turin, in Val d'Orcia (Tuscany), a guest of Arianna's family, with the (forced) approval of both parents, put in the face of a fait accompli.Through the voice of Arianna, who prepares the high school exam with him, we witness his first attempts to free himself from any type of addiction: but, while with drugs things don't seem to be so difficult for him, the memory of Antonia continues to obsess the boy, who undergoes a sort of involution, becoming introverted and uncommunicative with everyone and almost anorexic. Arianna, worried, will end up putting him under the care of a psychoanalyst.The girl, madly in love with him, cannot rest and will try everything possible to make him resurrect from his lethargic state.The interpreters are Daisy and Emmanuel The Fifth.The soundtrack includes covers of "Happy Together" (The Turtles) and "Love me please love me" (Michel Polnareff) and an original song: "Nancy Comes Home" by Opal Tribe, whom we thank for the kind permission.

Another message in a bottle from Emmanuel, this time dedicated to his relationship with Arianna.The girl seems to have trapped him in a kind of strange spell, a golden cage in which Emmanuel feels safe but uncomfortable, as if he were living a life that is not his, relaxing and comfortable, but foreign to his true personality.Therefore he watches himself live from the outside and ironically summarizes his new condition like this: he, Pisces, has been imprisoned in Aquarius (Arianna's zodiac sign).The interpreter is Emmanuel the Fourth (AI).The soundtrack is a cover of "Happy Together" (The Turtles).

Antonia and Michele's endless farewell continues with the man's attempt to extort the truth from the woman: but there are too many of Antonia's unspoken truths, and all of them are very heavy. As soon as some of these truths come out, Michele has a reaction of anger and indignation that he cannot control. The interpreters are Michele and Antonia.The soundtrack includes covers of "The Heart Asks Pleasure First" by Michael Nyman.

Another message in a bottle launched by Emmanuel into the void (or into the hands of whoever wants to pick it up): in this vision the boy witnesses helplessly an erotic encounter between Antonia and Frédéric, clearly realizing that a mutual dependence relationship has been established between the two.The interpreter is Emmanuel The Fourth.The soundtrack is an instrumental version of "Cripple and the Starfish" by Antony and The Johnsons.TRANSCRIPT

The breakup between Michele and Antonia is inevitable, but the man nevertheless tries to hold her back and make her think, while at the same time trying to calm down. Thus a rather tender dialogue takes place between them, which however has no power to change the mind of the woman, now determined to leave.The interpreters are Antonia and Michele.The soundtrack includes covers or instrumental versions of "Porz Goret" (Yann Tiersen) and "Skyfall" (Adele).

To whom is Emmanuel writing, now far away, almost 600 km away from Turin? We do not know. We only know that he continues to make his voice heard in flashes, through short and visionary messages in bottles sent to who knows who. Here's the first one, in which Emmanuel "sees" clearly what Michele does not know and does not see: Antonia has become Frédéric's lover. The interpreter is Emmanuel The Fourth. The soundtrack is "Passacaglia in C minor" by J.S. Bach.TRANSCRIPT HERE
