FAR FROM WAR

Mariella Santomauro

A story with an explosive intensity. Stilla is a pacifist and hypersensitive writer. Narratively, she represents a drop of humanity far from the ferocious context of the war.To get closer to a better point of view about the conflict in Ukraine, she decides to contact a war correspondent, Pietro Girli. The reporter becomes her bridge to connect herself to the battlefield. Stilla can have a closer look to the war through Pietro’s eyes, thanks to her extraordinary empathy. But what she sees becomes unbearable for her and leads the unfortunate reporter to be exacerbated by her thoughts. With a dreamy trace and a hyperbole on tragedy due to the author's fervent imagination, the plot offers a ruthless critique to our society: "Until we personally know the people who risk their lives under the bombs, the thought of war cannot touch us to the point of being exhausted by its cruelty.
