Gli straordinari

Nico and Elsa are thirty-five years old and they are a couple. They work tirelessly for pANGEA, a multinational corporation with its Italian offices in Rome, working on the sustainable development of brands, ecological transition, and ethical lifestyles – in other words, greenwashing.
Elsa and Nico run the Digital Innovation Department, where they created WeBreatheAgain, a very popular app for breathing exercises that helps users become more productive and live sustainably. They are a successful couple: they win awards, they are conscious consumers, they already bought a home, and they love each other. So why aren’t they happy? Why do they spend sleepless nights devoured by anxiety? Why do they feel like they can never stop? They decided not to have children to devote themselves to their careers, and their social lives revolve entirely around work. They continue to live in Rome despite the increasingly long summers and fires becoming a daily occurrence. They are starting to question if these were really their choices. Meanwhile, Nico’s migraines are becoming more disabling and worrisome, and WeBreatheAgain ends up in the middle of a scandal involving a very radical group of environmental activists. They are just days away from p-Day, a crucial moment for the company; Nico, Elsa, and their team have been working on it for months and they can’t afford to slow down…
