It could be a day like all the others for Maria, but she has a
terrible headache. She enters a bar to take an aspirin and then she runs
to work with the underground: Termini, P. Cavour, the stops come one
after the other, presenting characters of every kind. At the stop
Colosseo, Maria meets Marco, the love she has never forgotten. Life gets
confused with dream, the path of the train seems to be in the real time,
but at one minute to seven, Maria has never come out of the bar.
"The idea of a woman who dies, and, through a trip on the underground,
she goes to the afterlife, has seemed to me the occasion to break the
darkness of silence. Maria, our main character, dies while going to
work... 'Imagination is more important than knowledge' said Albert
Einstein... and this is the reason why we have imagined her while she
makes her journey with all the worries, her unsolved fears, her
emotions, supported by the thought of her first love" (I. Sansone).
