Secret life of things”
Eve, an artificial intelligence platform about to be discontinued, is confronted with human reality, in a city occupied by slaves coming from abroad to serve the “masters” who come on vacation. Suddenly, you seem to have the ability to develop something new within yourself, like a plant that blossoms into flower. As always, love will overcome all barriers.
“Last Movement”
A local accommodation tenant has an affair with his tenant. Her husband is jealous, and while they argue about who should leave and who should stay, they realize that they are inside the orchestra playing Joseph Haydn's farewell symphony, the one in which in the last movement the musicians leave the stage as they end their performance as a sign of protest. Where are they going?
