The Nurse

But 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.
