After a devastating breakup, Claire Monroe rents a cheap apartment hoping for quiet and healing. But every night, she hears it—footsteps above her head, crying, whispers through the vents. There’s just one problem: there is no apartment upstairs. It was sealed off years ago after a fire. No one lives there. No one should be moving around. Claire leaves notes beneath the door. Pleading. Begging. The presence never answers. Until it does.

Few artists have captured the unsettling beauty of the fusion between flesh and machine as hauntingly as Hans Ruedi Giger. His biomechanical visions, cathedrals of bone and chrome, embryonic nightmares suspended in steel wombs, eroticism bound in cold circuitry, have etched themselves into the collective unconscious. Giger unveiled a world that feels eerily familiar, as if drawn from the depths of a shared ancestral dream or a post-human future already unfolding. Born in Chur, Switzerland, in 1940, Giger studied architecture and industrial design, disciplines that would later inform the ...

Lidia was just three years old when she arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau with her mother, grandparents and foster brother. They were from Belarus, their ‘crime’ that they supported the partisan resistance to Nazi occupation. Lidia was picked by Dr Josef Mengele for his experiments and sent to the children’s block where she survived eighteen months of hell. Injected with infectious diseases, desperately malnourished, she came close to death. Her mother - who risked her life to secretly visit Lidia - was her only tie to humanity.

Napoli è uno di quei luoghi che ciascuno crede di conoscere anche se non li ha mai visti. Un immaginario spesso ideologico, fatto di stereotipi, di racconti ossificati, di un'infinita aneddotica. La città si giudica continuamente e viene continuamente giudicata. Sconta il pessimismo indulgente che non di rado gli stessi "nativi" si cuciono addosso e sconta la lontananza culturale, arcigna o paternalistica, di chi la osserva dall'esterno.

Pavel Ivanovič Čičikov attraversa la Russia comprando i nomi dei contadini morti dopo l'ultimo censimento, le anime morte appunto, per ottenere l'assegnazione di terre concesse solo a chi poteva dimostrare di possedere un certo numero di servi della gleba. Gogol' ci regala una galleria di personaggi corrotti e immorali, appartenenti a tutte le classi sociali, le cui anime sono più morte di quelle dei morti. Una commedia grottesco-satirica che descrive una società di proprietari terrieri, contadini e funzionari, immersa in una melma di mediocrità e pochezza umana.

L'infanzia in via Vetulonia, i primi calci al pallone, la timidezza e la paura del buio, la vita di quartiere in una Roma che forse non esiste più. Gli amici che resteranno gli stessi per tutta la vita. Gli allenamenti a cui la mamma lo accompagnava in 126, asciugandogli i capelli con i bocchettoni in inverno. L'esordio in Serie A a 16 anni in un pomeriggio di marzo del 1993 a Brescia, con i pantaloni della tuta che al momento di entrare in campo si impigliano nei tacchetti; il primo derby, il primo gol, il rischio di essere ceduto alla Sampdoria prima ancora che la sua favola in giallorosso possa cominciare.

La storia della breve vita di Tommaso Puzzilli, un giovane sottoproletario delle borgate romane, scorre impetuosa attraverso piccoli furti e bravate, prostituzione e vagabondaggi notturni, fino al tragico sacrificio finale. Ma è anche storia di contrastata redenzione, di impossibile riscatto sociale in un mondo disperatamente senza uscita, che racconta di un'Italia post-bellica divisa tra la fame dei diseredati che popolano i sobborghi e i primi segni di un benessere economico che avrebbe appiattito la società italiana nella grigia mediocrità degli ideali piccolo-borghesi.
