Francesco Mastroleo

A gardener working at a resort on the island of La Palma decides to go to the top of the volcano to plant a garden amidst the ruins. Meanwhile, a young girl vacationing at the same hotel feels bored, reflects on utopia, and searches for happiness.

Francesca for the others, Thomas for himself, is a boy born in a female body that doesn’t feel anymore belonging to him. He has a date with a girl met online but things don’t go as planned. Thomas and his friends grew up in Barona spending their afternoons riding scooters. On a random day, among the buildings of the outskirts of Milan, Elisa, Thia Bomber’s girlfriend, notices Thomas for the first time. The screams, a party, a kiss: moments of a day that changes forever the life of the guy.

Something moves from inside Irene's body: stomach ache, food refusal and apathy. The girl is on vacation at her grandmother's house in Puglia. With her is Federico, her partner. Their toxic relationship consists of constant fights in which Irene suffers psychological and sometimes physical violence. Thanks to her grandmother's plots, she will go through a violent transformation, discovering that she belongs to a sinister lineage of women. Her new and at the same time ancient female identity will be liberated by the ritual of tarantism, on the day of Kalimera.
