Cecilia Albertini

Platonicamente confusi

When her mother falls into a coma due to an aneurysm, 16-year-old Cassandra finds herself in the home of her father, whom she hasn't seen in ten years, along with her stepmother and a wild step-sister of the same age named Aurora. The girl is then introduced to the world of Rome's Piazza Giochi Delfici, a meeting place for young people in the area.

There are moments in life when, suddenly, everything stops. For Michelangelo, a young aspiring writer about to publish his first book, everything comes to a halt with the death of his father, forcing him to abandon his ambitions and provide for his family. Antonio, a successful manager accustomed to a perfect life, finds himself imprisoned by his wife's inability to overcome the death of their daughter. Giulia, on the other hand, is a young woman who has just given birth, whose husband had an accident shortly before their daughter's birth and is in a coma, in the same hospital where their daughter was born. Giulia lives there day and night, waiting for her husband to wake up: only then will she name her daughter. The interrupted lives of these three characters intertwine, waiting to find the turning point, the path that will lead them home.
