Cento battiti

by Santise Gianluca
Cento battiti

Women, money, drugs, is the triad that characterizes the life of Joey Diamond, a young and unscrupulous broker in the City of London. After a night in Soho, his life is broken at 130 miles per hour between the metal of a sports car. But all is not over, all is not lost, his heart continues to beat, stubbornly, until the firm hand of a surgeon stops him and transplants him into a new body. It is he, the heart, who is the protagonist of this journey which at first seems to drown in an icy cold, and then awakens in a body it does not recognize; he senses that something has changed, the smell, the sounds, the force, the people around him, even his name: Bill. The memories of life with Joey Diamond join the new sensations, very different, that he discovers with Bill, a simple man, convalescent, father of two daughters and husband of a strong and faithful wife. As a viewer learns to discover his new life and his new partner, appreciating the tranquility of the suburbs and the love of family, which he never had. Everything seems to be reborn, until an obsession threatens to ruin everything…
