ONE SENTENCE DESCRIPTION
A web comedy on the chemistry of relationships between women.

AUTHORS’ STATEMENT
Italy is a country where rights are denied to women who work, to homosexuals, to young people, to immigrants. The idea for the web series stems from our indignation at a country which tries to force people to go with the flow and our eagerness to talk about how we see affections, work and the family: a sequence of sometimes surprising reactions and relationships.

DICHIARAZIONE DELLE AUTRICI
Ci ha sempre colpito molto l’uso mutevole che si fa delle parole.
Eroe ad esempio, chi è un eroe? E dove si trova? Abbiamo provato a cercare i nostri e abbiamo scoperto che stanno molto vicini a noi ma non si vedono facilmente. Sono eroi piccoli – molto piccoli – e non avranno monumenti, questo è il nostro omaggio.

What if the much feared attack on the family that the Catholic Church has been warning against with such force was to really come true? A zany little comedy that, like this fear, harks back to another era. If this is a war, we want PACS.

DICHIARAZIONE DELLE AUTRICI
Non finisce mai di stupirci e di farci arrabbiare l’uso distorto delle parole. Quando i politici parlano di guerra usano espressioni come “missione di pace”, “missili intelligenti”, “portare la democrazia”. Quando la Chiesa parla di coppie di fatto e, in definitiva, di legami d’amore usa espressioni di guerra: “la famiglia sotto assedio”, “attacco alla famiglia”, “la difesa dei valori tradizional”. Abbiamo provato rappresentare questo mondo all’incontrario e per la prima volta, invece che da piangere, ci è venuto da ridere.
