CENTO DI QUESTI GIORNI
by Gianni De Santis
Giorgio, a retired man, enters a large toy store in order to buy a present for his granddaughter, but also in order to break up his daily boredom at the usual Old People's Center. However, a toy store is only apparently an innocent place. There are many objects that imitate life. That colorful environment excites and confuses Giorgio to such an extent that he is moved to think over his own life. He then leaves the store with a teddy bear, which he will leave at the door of his granddaughter's apartment right across the hall from his own.
