ME, YOU
Sometimes Love Means Staying, Even When Everything Falls Apart
Tommaso, known as Thor, is a boy like many others, with a
dream in his heart and a life that seems to be just beginning.
But one night, during a historical reenactment, the earth
shakes, and everything collapses: his home, his future, his
love. Under the rubble, he finds Lucia, the girl he loved, but
their encounter becomes a curse – she ends up in a coma,
he is half alive, consumed by guilt. In the weeks that follow,
between the Civil Protection tents and the silence of the hospital,
Tommaso learns to stay, to listen, to read the words Lucia
had left in her notebook, scratched with blood. Around him,
the earthquake camp becomes a laboratory of rebirth, where
even the dust can become color and the wind, which carries
everything away, can restore breath.
