Elena Soprano

Lovid-19 Elena Soprano

A diary written during a COVID-related lockdown where a 50-year-old single parent lives a quarantine in a quarantine shedding light on the parallelism between the virus and the affective contagion that develops each time she encounters the other. The end of a relationship with a man defined "absolute king of the kingdom of Absence and the incarnation of Eros", will lead her to interface with the contradictions of living relationships between two opposite needs: attachment and distance. In this journey of investigation back in time, of traveling in a kaleidoscopic female reality, of searching for a sense of impermanence through literature and poetry, the countermelody to the protagonist will be given by her teenage daughter, a little hacker wiser than her, Beth and Gioia, her lifelong friends, different yet complementary, Cousin G., romantic serial accumulator and Marce, the dog guy, a former boyfriend. Against the background of current events and urgent issues (from feminicide to the environment), text messages, dating apps and the Greece of here origins with the power of myth come into play and will lead to healing through the acceptance of inconsistency and complexity.
