Chi manda le onde

by Genovesi Fabio
Chi manda le onde

Sometimes waves come and overwhelm the apparently quiet surface of life. That happens to Luna, an albino girl, who collects a thousand strange things that wash ashore; to  her brother Luca, the king of the surf,  so different from her, tanned by the sun of Versilia and adored by all the girls. And it happens to  their mother Serena, a beautiful woman who raised them alone. When one of these lives ends tragically, it overwhelmes the others like a tsunami. Thanks to a ramshackle army of characters and their funny and bittersweet stories, life itself will shake the protagonists with its wonder and will turn them into a wonderful, unconventional family.  And the see mysteriously will begin to talk… An unforgettable blend of characters and stories, suspended like a dream, bittersweet and funny, touching and vibrant like life itself.
