Most of us stopped all our activities during the acute phase of the pandemic. We found ourselves stuck, locked in our homes, struggling with what we are and what we have built. For those who did not experience the health emergency on the front line, the lockdown was also an opportunity to reconsider their priorities and try to connect with their desires. But how did it go? How were we before and how are we now?

Vivere è un’altra cosa (Living is another thing) is a five-voice tale about this suspended time. A delicate and self-ironic sharing of daily moments that have questioned some fundamental aspects of our identities.

Through the mechanism of self-fiction, the five protagonists confront universal themes such as family, loneliness, job uncertainty, the fear of wasting time and other anxieties that this isolation has given us.
