November 11, 1997, Ljubljana, Veronika decides to end her life: she is young, pretty, bored, or rather... listless, without curiosity, and above all "blind" to the future. Slow, measured actions, one pill after another, there is no rush! There will be no awakening...
Blurred images, deliberately confused, in the fog post-coma on the intensive care bed at la Villette, a Psychiatric Hospital inhabited by many different, but free, free to live their lives and free to say whatever they want (well, who is normal and who is different?).
Death has mocked Veronika, forcing her to live, but only for another week, and then it will decide, as always, the time and place... The sleeping pills have caused severe damage to her heart, which will stop in very few days: the information is certain, the girl will die and this time for real!
Friendship, Love, Life, Freedom... hidden emotions, forgotten, erased resurface, they hurt physically and become a highly alcoholic distillation of fear, the fear of dying.
The awareness of death merges with the awareness of life: the days at la Villette pass too quickly, but at least this is life... real: what is normal, what is different?
Mari, Zedka, and Eduard represent all of humanity; in their fragility, in their courage, in unexpressed tenderness and in love silently shouted emotions are stripped bare through the necessity of expiation and the will to believe in tomorrow.
Life is a gift, it is a miracle that happens every day before our eyes, it is a gift to be unwrapped with the heart and enjoyed with the soul.
Instructions for use: to be read in a day for lovers of the genre.
