Il primo giorno della mia vita

This is an emotional piece of art that touches upon an incredibly difficult topic: suicide.

The story is structured on the fantastic concept that an angel, or an entity coming from nowhere, turns up when the main characters are trying to kill themselves, to save them and give them another chance. After that they are given a whole week in which he tries to convince them to choose life instead.

The personal stories of these characters are painful, human, relatable and the actors (Servillo, Buy, Mastandrea) dig deep inside the psychology of the people they portray. They dig deep inside human feelings.

The beauty of this moving fairytale is that, despite the sadness and the sorrow at the basis of the story, there are amusing moments too and, especially, there is light to be found at the end of tunnel.

Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of deep emotions!
