If you are familiar with Brocani's movies "Necropolis" and "Clodia fragmenta", then you know what to expect from this. No conventional plot but instead a juxtaposition of different situations and characters.
«Il titolo già orienta verso l'uso di un prodotto anomalo e "inutilizzabile" e vuole istigare a un'attenzione "devota", "oscura" circa lo scambio misterico tra arte e vita, tra forma ed energia: come un naufrago in un oceano gonfio di relitti che sono poi anche la sua storia, lo spettatore può trovare infine un appiglio per una vitale, iniziatica avventura verso un sognato approdo al proprio futuro» (TaoFest Arte 1997)
Screened at the International Taormina Film Festival in 1997.

"The subject of this film is the conversation between a man and a woman. A couple, maybe lovers, maybe married, it doesn't matter. (...) During this conversation, we do not see but the city of Rome. I wanted to transmit that what Rome provokes in me, the feeling of an intrinsic matter, indissoluble, in difference with Paris, made of small parks and open spaces, crossed by the sky and the wind. Hand in hand with the film, the difficulty of the two lovers assumes a clearer, more explicit form. But as much as, in my opinion, it is impossible to describe and film Rome, the difficulty in the love of a couple can never be totally understood."
