Sofia's Sycamore Luca Ferrarini

After the accident, Sofia is no longer the same. Something insider her that she thought had died long ago has awaken. And it is screaming. A cry of pain, a last call for help that she will not be able to ignore. The gloomy loneliness that she has nourished over the years envelops her in a dull and lethal embrace, impenetrable to the affections of her family and her friend Maria. Only the encounter with an elderly librarian will shake her from her apathy, encouraging her to embark on a journey with an uncertain outcome. Sofia will find herself in an unknown world, where space and time are only the reflections of her own fears and convictions. Guiding her through those desolate lands, a young girl with cold and distant eyes that will push Sofia to question her own existence. Why do we feel remorse? Why do we delude ourselves, thinking of our future as a labyrinth to explore? At the core of everything stands the majestic sycamore. Its roots dig deep, looking desperately for water. The journey is long and the risk of losing herself forever is tangible. Sofia will have to choose in what to believe: in a destiny already written and without regrets, or in a newfound existence to face and live.
