) and will tell the story of the lives of others seen through a smartphone. The pretext is as follows: each of us has three lives: one public, one private and one secret. Once upon a time our secret lives were safely locked away in the archives or our memories, today they are locked away on our sim cards. If that tiny piece of plastic could talk, what would it say?

The film, which will be distributed in theatres next February by Medusa Film, is presented as a light comedy about friendship, love and betrayal, with a bitter and slightly cynical reflection that leads four couples of friends to look at one another and realise they are ‘perfect strangers’. Filming is set to last six weeks and will all take place in a Roman home.
