Clouded Emotions - Series 1 - I

All over

Mario jumps into his car. The smartphone automatically connects to the audio system: “Latest news from the Milan stock exchange. Securities in real estate...”

“Um, no, no, thanks. I'd like to listen to a little music. The Scorpions, please.”

“Now you're listening to The best of the Scorpions – Wind of Change.”

The notes warm up the icy air of the car interior.

“I follow the Moskva

Down to Gorky Park

Listening to the wind of change”.

“Late-breaking news. The real estate market in downtown Milan has dropped by...”

“Enough! I don't want to hear anything about real estate. Disable automatic updates.”

“Updates disabled. You have three new emails. First message. Sender: Alberto...”
