This is a scene form Paz, my favourite movie which was directed by Renato de Maria and released in 2002. The stories of the movie are taken from Andrea Pazienza's comick books and are set in an italian city, Bologna during the 1977. The film depicts a generation fighting for political ideas, occupying schools and universities, but it also shows the emptyness and the anxiety of the main characters who keeps themself busy with drugs, sex or doing acts of vandalism to try to hide the misery of their life. But the main question is whether the rest of the world who is busy in this nonsensical race to achieve what society call a good life ( go to school, go to university, be productive and useful for the community , be goodlooking and presentable and so on..) is actually normal, or if the characters who try to isolate themself from society, beacuse their brain is too slow to live the fast life, are perhaps more human....

The three different stories of the movie happen in the same time and at the same place. The characters see each other, but never communicate.

In this video, Penthotal, one of the main characters, who is always lazy and constantly wearing a pyjamas,who stopped getting involved in political debates and spend his evening smoking and asking himself why he is so apathetic, goes in this kitchen to see why there is so much noise and find himself involved in a meeting of left wing students who are shouting talking about problems that they probably will never solve. Is interesting to see the movement of the camera when people talk, going back ad forward to underline the intensity of the confrontation between the characters and also how the kitchen suddenly become the lecture hall of a university, mixing reality and fantasy and showing Penthotal's confusion and oppression in this crowded room.
