With : Virginie Despentes, Filippo D'Angelo.

 

After the age of the great revolutions, two writers give a voice to a disenchanted generation, portraying with cynicism and humor the reality of a world that’s lost its great hopes. From the Italy under Berlusconi’s rule to the underbelly of Parisian rock’n’roll, these fallen and fickle heroes are adrift among the crowds, in the streets. Between melancholy revolts and an asphyxiated sense of existence, how do we deal with the purpose with which we try to infuse our daily lives?
