They are actors living their daily lives as if time were
irregular, a dead time, a time of passage between playing
one character to the next.
“Life is short but the day is endless” is what this time is
saying, putting together the fragments of their lives.
Living through the characters they play on the screen, in
TV series, in small theatres in which they put themselves
on the line, and mix their destinies in a city such as Rome
whose streets are submerged each day by a realism which
is almost surreal because of the military parades, the
political anti- Bush demonstrations, up until the silence
and abandonment of a post electoral evening which fires
the incessant need to communicate, the necessity to play
and to exist.
