Synopsis
Dry
In Rome it hasn’t rained for three years and the lack of water is overturning rules and habits. Through the city dying of thirst and prohibitions moves a chorus of people, young and old, marginalised and successful, victims and profiteers. Their lives are linked in a single design, while each seeks his or her deliverance.
J Loop
Nicolas is a 14 y.o. kid who wants to learn boxing from coach Jonathan (J). They develop a friendship and Nicolas schedules a dinner with his single mom Veronica (V) and J. However, the two adults were stuck in a time loop 15 years before.
