Emmanuel

The dream gave Michele precise warnings: and so a mysterious "thief" easily manages to open the secret false bottom of engineer Kellermann's chest of drawers, stealing the gun with which the man was supposed to kill himself.In the meantime, in a tender conversation with his father, Michele manages to comfort him and give him hope of a recovery in business, thanks also to his new activity as a trader.In the end Michele reaches Laura, his new girlfriend, with whom he is about to spend an evening without too many worries.The performers are Michele, Steffan and Anchernar.The soundtrack is composed of instrumental versions or covers of "Des rondes dans l'eau" and "Comment te dire adieu" by Françoise Hardy.

Michael’s dream (or nightmare) starts again.In the guise of the Archangel of the same name, he finds himself once again in conversation with Lucifer, who makes scathing jibes about his role in history; however, if nothing else, he explains his mistakes to him and warns him of some terrible events concerning his family’s future.The actors are Paul Lucifer and Michele.The soundtrack includes a cover of ‘This Boy’ by Franz Ferdinand.

As you may have noticed, Emmanuel's diary is mostly addressed in the second person to an unnamed "doctor": his psychoanalyst.Now let's get to know this singular character, whom we see in conversation with Arianna: the girl in fact, seriously worried about the strange behavior of Emmanuel, turns to his help begging him to accept the boy as his patient.The interpreters are Blot and Ginevra.The soundtrack is an instrumental version of "Gong-oh" by Paolo Conte.

At this point, it is understandable that not only Emmanuel, but also Michael is losing his mind a little.Overwhelmed by a series of sudden and unexpected events, which have swept away all his certainties, Michael enters an identity crisis and dreams of being the Archangel Michael in conversation with a sort of Alter Ego who has all the features of Lucifer.Here is the first part of that surreal conversation.The interpreter is Paolo Malgioglio.The soundtrack is composed of "Veridis Quo" by Daft Punk and the instrumental version of "Dull Jack" from "Heretics" by Chaton-Moore-Moor.

Emmanuel is showing some signs of mental imbalance.In this brief scene he completely identifies with Antonia and imagines himself in her place in an erotic rendezvous with Frédéric...The interpreter is Emmanuel The Fourth.The soundtrack is a cover of "Party Girl" by Michelle Gurevich.

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.
