An orphan since he was a teenager, Elio forges an otherworldly connection with the dead. His relationship with Arianna is in crisis, and his friendship with Vlad is at risk: to avoid being alone, he must confront his pain and find his will to live.
Yuri Casagrande Conti trained in Milan (at Quelli di Grock) and Los Angeles, and combines acting and writing in his work. He made his film debut in the short Come nei rami la pioggia and his theatre debut in Lettere dall’aldilà. He has collaborated with leading theatre institutions such as MTM Teatro Litta (Milan) and Teatro Bellini (Naples).
