La monogamia dei calzini
by Pretta Giulia
La monogamia dei calzini addresses the issue of the breakdown of relationships caused by events beyond our control, such as the advancement of an early neurodegenerative disease. It also touches on complex issues such as the importance of a common memory in any relationship, the acceptance of the disease and assisted suicide. Fans of role-playing games, Alice and Alberto live a life in the memory of the nineties, eating potato chips and watching episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. Then Alberto discovers he has an early form of Alzheimer’s and this changes the cards on the table. Alice stands beside him, but does not hide her discomfort. She does not pretend or force herself to be a courageous heroine, devoted to sacrifice. On the contrary, she remains herself, without hiding her desires and frustrations.With irony and delicacy Giulia Pretta presents us with a real character, without false romanticism, with nerdy features, passionate about comics and her work, sincere with others and with herself.
