Synopsis
The drama begins on a theatre stage under construction. The theatre’s director is watching Pasolini’s film “What are the Clouds?” to be inspired by the movie for the creation of his new show. The film is strongly engaging, but, suddenly, the arrival of a series of people abruptly interrupts it. Those people look unreal and weird and they present themselves as characters in search of an author. The enraged Director tries to send them away, but the characters are adamant: they must bring their story to life, a very dark story: a story of Dark Jealousy.
