In Gli straordinari by Edoardo Vitale, Nico and Elsa, who met at university in Rome during the years of economic crisis, have built both a personal and professional path together. After a beginning marked by precarious jobs and shared apartments, they join pANGEA, a multinational focused on sustainability, eventually becoming creative directors of the Digital Innovation department. At thirty-six, they enjoy success, financial stability, and a “green” lifestyle, but at the cost of relentless work and constant connectivity that even invades their dreams. On the eve of p-Day, the company’s most important event, pressure mounts as Rome faces extreme heat, fires, and climate protests suppressed with force. Within this setting, cracks and doubts emerge in their relationship and way of life, exposing the contradictions of a generation caught between love, performance, anxiety, and environmental crisis.
