Experiencing Interruptions?

GAME OVER

Riccardo is a guy who lost hope, either in the world than in his own life. Finding himself at the end of his rope, believing he could no longer be part of the society in which he lives, he is about to take an extreme decision: remain in this world or leave it for good. But we are in the social media era, and nothing’s like before: Riccardo takes a selfie with the void under him and puts it on Facebook with a farewell message, that is also an help message; then he waits, thinking over what brought him to hesitate on the top of a building. The comments under his Facebook post arrive soon: the first one is from Gregorio Castiglione, the asshole guy that has always bother him during his life. They are followed by few useless others, but suddenly there’s an unexpected as hoped one: is from Azzurra Trevisano, his best friend, the love he have never had. Riccardo’s message seems to have affected her somehow, and he’s finally finding out if there is a reason to keep on living. But suddenly the telephone turns off, it’s discharged. The guy is taken by surprise, and now he can’t jump down the building anymore, he must know the truth. So, without even thinking about it, he gets up and rushes to Azzurra, but stumbling down the stairs he falls to the ground, while the telephone is flying off from his hands right outside the window and, once reached the ground, it breaks down completely, sanctioning the Game Over.
