Tre vivi, tre morti

by Jorjoliani, Ruska
Tre vivi, tre morti

Sicily. A professor of philosophy, Modesto, receives an anonymous and unexpected letter that accuses him of being a murderer. Convinced that someone wants to kill him, Modesto asks his wife Aurora for help, but she refuses to believe him. Their marriage has been in crisis for years and they both have lovers. These are the reasons that push Modesto to abandon the conjugal roof and leave to shed light on the accusations present in the letter. Aurora, left alone and awaiting the return of her husband, writes a diary full of anger and frustration, where she notes her thoughts, memories, and even the sudden lack she feels for her husband.
