Mamma in polvere
In a not too distant future, each family owns a Lyo, a “powdered mum”. You can buy them at the supermarket in convenient bags: they cook, clean, take care of the children. At Mara’s house, however, Isis, the family’s Lyo, begins to behave strangely: she does not destroy herself after six months, as Lyos usually do, and above all she seems to be developing feelings! To protect her, Mara embarks on a breathtaking adventure.
