For so long, cosmetics have been primary used by women and women only. It was seen at taboo for a man to wear nial polish or makeup and it would make people question the mans masculinity. This started to change as we got into the Y2K era and men started to wear heavy eyeliner and black nail polish. This would be categorized as “emo” and that was that. A little but later, the world started to become more open to the idea of men wearing makeup after seeing artists like Manny Mua and Partick Starr. They were not only app;auded by their talent, but their bravery to go against the norm and break the masculine stereotype.

Harry styles came around to this trend as well when he started to wear nail polish. Of course there was a great deal of people who love to promote toxic masculinity and say that this was just the worst thing that could ever happen. They thought that this made him a queer when in all actuality, is was just his way of expressing himself. According to Seventeen, “Created to foster creativity, the makeup products can be used any way you want — whether that's a mix-and-match mani, glossed-over eyelids and lips, or a bold gold blush and green highlight. The collab with Brazilian fashion designer Marco Ribeiro — whom Harry has tapped for gender-bending, retro-inspired designs before — reflects Harry's personal style and love for bright shades. "To me, the way Marco uses color is so inspiring — everything he makes radiates fun, joy, and playfulness," Styles told Vogue Business. "When we started discussing collaborators for Pleasing, Marco was the first person I wanted to ask."” (Dupes 2022)

Harry created his new cosmetic brand, Pleasing, and it has absolutely gone viral. I can tell that when people see other people like theirselves do something, they tend to want to do that thing as well. For instance, when a toddler sees another toddler do a cartwheel, they tend to want to do one as well. So if more men see that Harry is promoting and encouraging cosmetics to not be limited to one gender, other men may feel more inclined to throw their “pride” away and endulge in the self-expression as well.

If you’re a cool person, that means you like Fleetwood Mac. Sorry, I don’t make the rules; I just enforce them. Mick Fleetwood is apart of the promotion for the Pleasing brand and has a very big part in the marketing aspect as well. According to Vogue, ““Pleasing is this experience of, ‘Why not?’ or ‘I’ve never thought of that’—and that’s why I’m part of it,” explains Fleetwood, who views the brand as an empowering tool for self-discovery and self-expression. “It says, here’s something, either literally or figuratively, to hold your hand while we’re all on this journey. That’s what it means to me.” Along with a set of theatrical ensembles, Fleetwood sports an array of colorful manicures in the campaign. Think: a purple top hat paired with matching tiny shades, a custom zebra print suit by S.S. Daley, and stacks of chunky metallic rings with teal digits; or a salmon silk vest layered over a mushroom Pleasing T-shirt and indigo trousers, topped off with glossy cherry red nails.” (Valenti 2022)

Dopo la rottura del rapporto con Vieri e l’uscita dalla Bobo tv, Lele Adani, Antonio Cassano e Nicola Ventola sono pronti a fare il loro grande ritorno con un programma tutto loro: Viva el Futbol. L’iniziativa è stata affidata a Dorvan, una nuova compagnia (newco) fondata da Marco Valenti e Alberto Gugliada. Viva el Futbol , che inizierà le trasmissioni via streaming con l’inizio della prossima stagione del campionato di Serie A, si definisce come una “formula di analisi calcistica e intrattenimento completamente rinnovata e orientata alla massima interazione col pubblico“. Il nuovo programma del trio si presenta come un “format multimediale capace di adattarsi agilmente tra tutte le piattaforme, dal web ai social”. La data ufficiale è il 19 agosto e, per almeno due settimane, Viva El Futbol sarà raggiungibile su tutte le piattaforme social, sia in diretta che con contenuti esclusivi on demand. Dorvan, ovvero la società di consulenza artefice della progettazione di Viva El Futbol, ha spiegato: “Ogni piattaforma sarà utilizzata sfruttandone al meglio le caratteristiche uniche, garantendo che il dialogo con i fan sia sempre fresco, inclusivo e coinvolgente”. Gli stessi Marco Valenti e Alberto Gugliada, i fondatori di Dorvan, hanno poi aggiunto: “Siamo molto felici di aver contribuito alla nascita di questo format, che in tanti attendevano, e che da un punto di vista progettuale e tecnologico ha rappresentato un’entusiasmante sfida da vincere. Siamo certi che anche i brand e le agenzie che scelgono di investire nello sport e nella narrazione sportiva vi sapranno scorgere un’opportunità di visibilità e un punto di incontro con gli utenti molto interessante”.

THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1970) – Episode 190 – Decades Of Horror 1970s

“Right! Bring in the perverts” They always make for a good police lineup. Join your faithful Grue Crew – Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr – as they get their Giallo on with Dario Argento’s first shot at directing, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970).

An American expatriate in Rome attempts to unmask a serial killer he witnessed in the act of attempted murder – and is now hunting him and his girlfriend.

Director: Dario Argento

Writers: Dario Argento; Fredric Brown (novel, The Screaming Mimi, 1949) (uncredited)

With his first feature directorial effort, modern horror master Dario Argento immediately showed off his skill, precision, and artistry. Often looked upon as the rise in popularity for Giallo films, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) would set the bar for all the pre-slasher killer mystery thrillers for over a decade even giving the father of the subgenre, Mario Bava (The Girl Who Too Much, 1963; Blood and Black Lace, 1964), a run for his money. While Argento adapts many influences into his first of a series of films known as the “Animal Trilogy,” along with The Cat o’ Nine Tails (1971) and Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971), his film would in turn influence many films for decades to come. Some of those films would be directed by his peers such as Bava and Lucio Fulci. Others who would pay homage would be the likes of Carpenter and de Palma. Jeff, Doc, Bill, and Chad gather to discuss the film, its creators, and its mark on the genre. ��

At the time of this writing, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage is available to stream on a multitude of streaming and PPV services including Kanopy, Tubi, Prime Video, and Screambox to name a few. The film is also available as a Blu-ray and as a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray from Arrow Video.

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next episode, chosen by Chad, will be The Dunwich Horror (1970). Yog-Sothoth, anyone?

Siracusa: Inaugurazione della mostra "Flora fauna & cemento - bellezza e criticità nel nuovo paesaggio siciliano"

Siracusa: Inaugurazione della mostra "Flora fauna & cemento - bellezza e criticità nel nuovo paesaggio siciliano". Giovedì 18 maggio alle ore 18.00 ci sarà l'inaugurazione della mostra "Flora fauna & cemento - bellezza e criticità nel nuovo paesaggio siciliano" a cura di Aldo Premoli. L'esposizione sarà visitabile fino al 30 ottobre 2023. Con l’avvento dell’Antropocene (l’era geologica in cui l’uomo è divenuto protagonista assoluto) il dominio di homo sapiens sulla natura si avvia al suo compimento. Al centro dell’esposizione stanno la bellezza e le criticità del territorio siciliano. La Sicilia, il suo paesaggio e la sua popolazione, divengono qui paradigma per l’intero pianeta. Perché questa isola è sotto molti aspetti un paradiso, ma è per altri è una terra ferita dall’aggressione di attività umane sconsiderate. Questa mostra invita a riflettere sulle responsabilità che tutti abbiamo in quel che sta accadendo. Ma c’è un secondo livello di lettura. L’ambiente che ci circonda un tempo veniva definito paesaggio. Secondo alcuni il paesaggio esiste attraverso le sue forme di rappresentazioni letterarie o proprie delle arti visive. Secondo altri questo paesaggio estetizzato è un feticcio culturale che pretende inutilmente di ibernare l’esistente arrestando il corso degli eventi. La stessa rappresentazione della “figura umana” risente della modificazione dell’ambiente che l’avvolge. “Uomo” e “Natura” si confrontano oggi con una nuova consapevolezza. Di tutto questo parlano i 30 artisti e le oltre 100 opere che si allineano in questa esposizione articolata, ma pensata per essere compresa da tutti: dai 3 a i 100 anni. Nell’atrio d’ingresso la struttura in ferro riciclato e led di Alice Valenti accoglie i visitatori a ricordare il complesso rapporto che legaturismo e ambiente. Lì accanto nella Saletta San Corrado la video-installazione di Ivan Terranova racconta di luoghi un tempo abitati dal lupo siciliano (Canis lupus cristaldii), il cui ultimo esemplare è stato abbattuto cento anni fa. La crisi ambientale che stiamo vivendo èanche una crisi di relazione con altri esseri viventi che pure esistono e si rivelano solo nella notte. Sulla scalinata che conduce ai piani superiori le sculture di Jano Sicura fioriscono i muri ricchi di memoria di questa costruzione. Nell’ammezzato, la sezione dedicata all’acqua al fuoco e alla pietra. Scatti di incendi (una piaga ben nota sull’ isola) “dipinti” con il cellulare da Salvatore Lanteri durante l’estate 2022. Lì accanto quattro straordinari filmati costruiti da Diego Perez compongono una “poesia” sulle fonti d’acqua rurali nell’isola. Nella stessa sala Salvo Alibrio propone le sue allucinate astrazioni sui muri a secco, gioielli dell’architettura rurale di quest’isola, mentre Gaetano Gambino stupisce con un nucleo di stampe in bianco e nero che raccontano delle ferite inferte al paesaggio siciliano da sconsiderate attività umane. Sala grande al piano nobile, la mostra esplode con la migliore pittura contemporanea siciliana qui raccolta in una riflessione corale. Da Palermo arrivano le straordinarie opere di Alessandro Bazan, Andrea Di Marco, Fulvio Di Piazza, Laboratorio Saccardi, IgorScalisi Palminteri, Ignazio Cusimano Schifano. Da Catania i lavori di Giuliano Cardella e i contributi “al femminile” delle eccellentiBarbara Cammarata e Alice Valenti. Presenti anche questa volta i due esponenti di punta della scuola di Gela: Giovanni Iudice ed Emanuele Giuffrida. Da Modica i superlativi lavori di Giovanni Blanco, Giuseppe Colombo e Giovanni Viola. Non hanno voluto far mancare il loro contributo i sicilianissimi e ormai iper noti Giuseppe Veneziano, Filippo La Vaccara e Francesco Lauretta con opere giunte rispettivamente da Milano e Firenze. Della produzione della diaspora siciliana fanno parte anche i taglienti paesaggi di Giorgio Distefano e quelli sognanti di Giuseppe Costa. Completa il tutto Angelo Bellobono con la sua opera dove l’artista “attraversa” il paesaggio siciliano e lo fa tanto con l’acquarello che con il video. Nella Galleria E. Pirrone il paesaggio siciliano nella fotografia di Giuseppe Leone. Venticinque straordinari scatti di Giuseppe Leone dialogano nella Galleria che raccoglie i bronzi del maestro Giuseppe Pirrone. Al lavoro di Leone hanno attinto in moltissimi: reporter e paesaggisti, persino chi ha flirtato con la pubblicità confezionando un immaginario siciliano poi esportato in ogni parte del mondo. L’omaggio rivoltogli in questa sezione della mostra era quindi doveroso. Giuseppe Leone (Ragusa, 1936) ha pubblicato oltre 50 volumi, e realizzato mostre ovunque nel mondo. Ha in questo modo scolpito per sempre, a partire degli anni ‘50 i paesaggi e i costumi della Sicilia. Dall’inizio degli anni ’70 poi l’incontro con Antonino Uccello lo spinge verso la fotografia antropologica, quella che indagacostumi e le condizioni sociali della Sicilia interna. La sua fotografia avvolge di una intensa pietas i soggetti scelti, soprattutto quando rappresentano il mondo che viene soppiantato dall’incedere della modernità. Da sempre per Leone - in questo modernissimo - il paesaggio non è il fondale inerme delle azioni degli uomini, ma è un elemento vivo che con essi interagisce modificandoli ed essendonemodificato. Nel Belvedere della biblioteca (mai utilizzato in precedenza), una complessa installazione scultorea di Giovanni Galizia chiudel’esposizione accogliendo i visitatori di fronte a un panorama mozzafiato. ... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

day 1 who do you think you are - character recs

Creator’s Week 2021 for @roswellnewmexicocreate - Day 1 : Character Recs

This is my favorite fandom event, and my third year doing it. The last year was really difficult, and fanfic more than ever was my escape from it. Shout out to all the writers, commenters, and lurkers who kept fandom going during it.

Rosa Ortecho:

heal it or break it all apart by @adiwriting : (7,600) All Rosa’s ever done is break things. Her entire life she’s destroyed everything she’s ever touched. So it’s really no surprise when she comes back that her powers do the same. Alternatively- 4 times somebody tries to get Rosa to seek help with her powers and one time she decides to help herself. GEN

why i like it: I pretty much love whatever Britt writes, but in the light of how season 3 is going, I found myself returning to this fic more than a few times. She really captures the fierce but vulnerable Rosa in this beautifully.

Kyle Valenti:

at every occasion i’ll be ready for a funeral by @bydayornight (1,330) Kyle goes on a vacation after the events of 3x04 and meets an unlikely beach companion. GEN

why i like it: Christine has become one of my new favorite writers, and has been a season 3 coda writing machine. Here is where we all would like Kyle to be - lounging on a beach without a care in the world (with that RNM twist! lol) She also does a brilliant job with the Kyle and Michael vibes here.

Maria Deluca:

Butter(bar)flies by @andrea-lyn (4,447) When all of Maria’s people fly away for new opportunities, she needs to find new ones. The lost decade and what should have been. MILUCA

why i like it: Manda has written some of my favorite stories, and even has dragged me into Ted Lasso, but this little lost decade AU is one of my favorites. She captures the flirty vibe of season 1 Michael/Maria, and inserts it into a time when it really makes sense to me for that a friends-with-benefits-relationship should have begun, to give weight to a choice for Michael. Maria is wonderfully characterized here, and it really makes it clear how a real love triangle should have been structured.

Liz Ortecho:

heart of lightning (a roswellian tale) by @bitch-ass-aliens (20,095) When Ser Elizabeth Ortecho of the Roswellian Court is sent by Queen Isobel to retrieve the heart of the missing King Maxwell from a fearsome lightning dragon guarding it, she knows success could bring her one step closer to completing a quest of her own. Ten years ago, a mage named Ophiuchus curse her sister with eternal slumber, and Liz has been searching for him ever since. Saving the king could be the key to learning Ophiuchus's true identity and saving Rosa. But the dragon is not what it appears to be. Soon Liz finds herself needing to guard her heart from feelings forgotten long ago as she and her friends journey back to Roswell, King Max by their side, with more than just the fate of Rosa hanging in the balance. For Ophiuchus's plans are bigger and more dangerous than any of them realize. ECHO

why i like it: This was part of the RNM Big Bang last year and as a fellow participant, I did my best to read and feedback the other submissions, which meant reading something that wasn’t Malex 😂🤯 - suz made it easy, writing a beautifully detailed medieval AU that retold the story of Rosa, Noah, and Max’s S1 sacrifice, through the amazing POV of Ser Liz. This story had everything I love about Liz- her devotion to her family, her bravery in doing hard things, and her love for Max.

Max Evans:

highway to the sun by @angsty-nerd (22,236) Noah’s heart is failing, and Max is on the verge of death. His final wish is to see Liz one last time, so he and Michael road trip to Los Angeles so that Max can say his goodbyes. ECHO

why i like it: Another part of the 2020 RNM Big Bang - Instead of a focus on Liz in this Echo story, we’re deep in the psyche of Max Evans, who is trying to tie up loose ends before he dies. I love the atmosphere of the road trip, the sadness of the clock that Max is trying to run out, and the whole Michael/Max brotherly bond in this story. It’s got all the sweet elements of some of my favorite romantic dramas - like “Beaches” or “Dying Young”, but mixed with the sci fi of RNM. Even though it was written pre-season 3, I really love how it ties up season 2 here.

Alex Manes:

i’m just like my mother, we both love to run @meneatyoghurt (5,211) After what his dad does, he runs and runs and runs. A look at Alex's relationship with running, from track and field to leaving Roswell. MALEX IMPLIED

why i like it: Alex is one of my favorite characters on RNM, mostly because of how hard he tries in spite of his flaws. I love a good story that focuses on why it’s a struggle for Alex to be present, and doesn’t shy away from the fallout of his actions. This is a gorgeous look into Alex and his tendency to run to feel safe, and how that affects his relationships, and why he wants to stop. I just have a lot of feelings about Alex, especially after reading this.

Michael Guerin :

looking for yourself out there by @haloud (6,670) It’s early; it’s a weeknight. Michael can only be here to get blasted or for Marco himself, and both of them know it.It’s been a while since this was a game, for Michael. The flirting he did with Maria was something else, a class all her own. Sex, and the lead up to sex, for the longest time was either life-or-death or it was a helpless, hopeless lashing out for any human contact. (It was either Alex, or it was Maria, or it wasn’t.)So this is nice. MICHAEL/OTHER

why i like it: I privately think hal understands Michael Guerin like no other, and their fic is just a delight for anyone who wants to look under that macho cowboy exterior to see him. One of the things we both agree on as Michael Guerin fans, is that Alex is not the male exception for Michael. And while the show will probably never deliver a Michael/OMC storyline like they have with Max/Jenna, Isobel/Blair, Liz/Heath, Alex/Forrest - that’s what fanfic is for and this story is so satisfiying. If you don’t come away from this story loving Marco and wishing he was real... I don’t know what to tell you. I was so inspired by it, I wrote my own Michael/OMC story.

Isobel Evans:

future starts slow by @foramomentonly (4,799) The bartop is sticky, but Maria's skin is clean and soft.This is how it starts. Brushes of fingers as Maria passes over a glass of wine; her cool, dry hand cupping Isobel's wrist as she reads her palm; Isobel's fingertips pressed to Maria's temples, wisps of curls caught around her knuckles as they practice combining their powers. MARIBEL

why i like it: It’s just facts that Maria and Isobel have incredible chemistry, their banter is off the charts, and I love this sexy story of Isobel approaching Maria for more after they’ve been circling each other for a while. It’s a gorgeous look at two strong women who very rarely let down their guards, but for each other, they do. The sex is really hot, but I think what lingers most with me is how this story rewards the swan dive of hope, Isobel after a lifetime of “being who she should be” becomes who she wants to be, a woman who loves fiercely but not destructively. Of course, Maria is no wilting flower here, which makes it all the sweeter.

If you like any of these recs, please leave a comment on the story- a ‘this was awesome’ is enough to propell an author into the stratosphere with happiness, so don’t worry about coming up with a unique, never before shared insight- sometimes a keyboard smash and emogi makes all the difference!

day 2- venus

Valenti about collapses in the chair across from Michael, already a couple drinks in and feeling it, but Michael decides not to say a word. He brought Michael another beer, after all, and Michael lifts it with a “Cheers, Valenti,” and takes a swig.

He was maybe hoping for a fight the first time he pulled up a chair at Kyle’s usual table at Planet 7 and parked his ass there before Kyle showed up, but things have been shockingly chill between them. Hell, Michael almost looks forward to this at the end of the week, for all that most of the time they just drink in silence before Kyle gets up to dance or Michael dips out early.

“This is the fourth time this month Marco’s asked me if you’re single,” Kyle says, pointing his own bottle at Michael like an accusation. “You gotta tell me what to tell him, man.”

“I don’t gotta tell you anything,” Michael replies, sinking a couple inches in his chair even as he cuts his eyes to the bar, where Blair’s second-in-command, a tall, built, handsome guy with a great ass and an accent to die for, puts the finishing touches on a cocktail with deft fingers and slides it to the girl at the bar. A definite shiver of interest prickles at Michael, but he just sinks down lower as he shrugs and takes another swig.

“You wanna talk about Maria yet? Or is this about Alex? Because, y’know, he and Forrest—”

“Nope.”

Kyle raises an unimpressed eyebrow, and Michael rolls his eyes and continues.

“I mean that unless Alex wants to talk about him to me or unless I run into the guy somewhere, I’m stayin’ out of it. It’s better for the sanity of everyone involved, yeah? No point in making this shit any more complicated than it already is.” Michael mutters the last and finishes the beer all at once, though he makes a regretful face as he clunks it down, since it’s his last one of the night.

“That,” Kyle says delicately, “Doesn’t look like the drinking of someone succeeding at uncomplicating their life. C’mon, dude. If you’re not going to talk to me—the strangerest of all your friends—who will you talk to?”

Something in Michael vaguely wants to resent Kyle over this, but he can’t muster it.

“I miss Maria, but I think she was right about us, but she ended it before I was ready and I don’t know if it makes me an asshole to think both of those things at the same time. And if Marco asks again I’m gonna need you to tell him it’s complicated, because rebounding with me would be the worst fuckin’ mistake of his life. I’m fuckin’ lonely as shit even though I have more friends now than ever. I’m still in love with Alex but have no clue what to do with it and I’m afraid the whole rest of my life is gonna be his unfinished business. You regretting asking yet, Valenti?”

The words come out like picking at a scab. A little sting, the strangest relief, a greater chance for them to scar.

Unbelievably, Kyle just shrugs and says, “I got all night, actually,” and next time a waiter walks past, he grabs soda for them both.

La genesi di un opera rappresenta una vera e propria nascita.

Che sia un opera originale o repro, non ha importanza, é sempre qualcosa di vivo, in crescita.

Quando il mio amico Marco Sabatino insieme a Pierpaolo Valenti mi disse quel che avevano in mente, per me è stato un tuffo al cuore.

Due cari amici stavano creando un libro sulla Silver Age della Marvel in Italia, e chiedevano a me di realizzarne la copertina. Non potevo crederci!

È partito subito il Brain Storming e decidemmo che l'immagine doveva essere quella che più ci segno come lettori dell'epoca.

Ovvero la cover del numero 1 di Secret Wars di Mike Zeck, una di quelle immagini talmente tanto iconiche da rimanere negli occhi e nel cuore di ogni lettore Marvel.

Mi misi subito all'opera, ricreare un immagine non è mai facile, soprattutto una in cui ci sono i maggiori Carachter della casa delle idee.

Fattostà che il grande entusiasmo è l'amore per la Marvel hanno creato questa immagine, che presto vedrete su un libro che deve essere un must have per ogni vero appassionato.

Ecco nei vari passaggi la genesi della copertina.

È da questa domanda che nasce la seconda stagione di Buongiorno, mamma! Del resto Anna lo aveva preannunciato, il suo coma non è stato un incidente. Qualcuno lo ha causato. Ma chi e perché? Quali altri segreti nasconde il passato della famiglia Borghi/Della Rosa? Maurizia che otto anni fa suona alla porta di Anna e Guido, rivelando di essere ancora viva, è sogno o realtà? Cosa succederebbe se il misterioso colpevole dell’incidente di Anna dovesse tornare? Solo scoprendo chi ha fatto loro del male in passato, i Borghi riusciranno ad evitare che il pericolo si rinnovi nel presente. Perché le famiglie non sono linee rette, ma un magma in cui tutto si unisce e ritorna, un universo complesso in cui gli errori del passato possono essere sconfitti solo spalancando gli occhi, in cerca dell’unica cosa che può salvarci. La verità. Ed è proprio “la verità” che scopriremo in questa stagione. Ma Buongiorno, mamma! è soprattutto una serie sulla famiglia, una famiglia del tutto particolare che si troverà anche quest’anno ad affrontare nuove sfide e nuovi ostacoli. Guido per anni si è rimboccato le maniche, ha sempre rispettato la presenza emotiva di Anna, ma è stato padre e madre e le scelte da fare in una famiglia sono tante. E forse oggi si troverà davanti alla scelta più difficile della sua vita. Sole sta per partorire e la presenza di una neonata in casa potrebbe rappresentare un pericolo per le condizioni sempre un po’ al limite di una donna in coma. Che cosa ne sarà di Anna? Cosa sceglierà Guido? Saprà rinunciare all’amore della sua vita, per accogliere in serenità la figlia di Sole? E i suoi figli, come reagiranno? Ognuno di loro dovrà affrontare presto nuove sfide e nuove delusioni. E questo Anna lo sa bene. Io sento le parole di Jacopo in cerca del suo posto nel mondo, sento Sole che è ancora figlia, ma è troppo confusa per diventare mamma… sento Francesca, scappata via in cerca dell’amore strappacuore e tornata piena di dubbi, sento Michelino e la sua voce tenera e curiosa. Sento anche Agata fare i conti con una famiglia ritrovata, ma da cui ora si sente esclusa. Anna sente. Sente ma non può fare nulla per aiutare la sua famiglia. O forse sì? I medici lo dicono dal primo giorno, servirebbe un miracolo. Non si può restare sospesi per sempre... C’è un tempo per vivere... e c’è un tempo per lasciarsi andare... E ad Anna, cosa toccherà? La famiglia Borghi/Della Rosa è sopravvissuta a tutto. Alla malattia, al dolore, agli sbagli. E di fronte ad un miracolo, saprebbe sopravvivere? Ognuno di loro dovrà lottare per non dimenticarsi che è sul confronto che si fonda la famiglia, sul non lasciarsi andare, non voltarsi dall’altra parte. Sul preoccuparsi. Uno dell’altro, sempre. Sul ridere di cose sciocche e inventare nuove consuetudini. Perché il matrimonio, la famiglia, non restano uguali nel tempo. Non esiste l’amore eterno. Esiste l’amore che eternamente si rinnova. Si può litigare, l’importante è non andare via. Restare. Ed essere pronti a dire ogni mattina, oggi e per sempre: Buongiorno, mamma!
