Rita

- Hasn’t anyone seen my soul? –

 

She got married five years ago with Angelo.

He feels that Angelo has no time for being with her; she feels a hole inside her.

She is telling a situation at home.

They are both sleeping, but she wakes up, observing him and listening to all the typical noises that a house does during the night. Moreover, when she discovers his husband’s toolbox, tries to find what is he doing; he is trying to repair her soul and she is looking for it, trying to find it among his gadgets. She disorders everything but tries to reorder them again not to angry her husband.

In the end, she comes back to the bedroom, describes how her husband is sleeping and she lies down next to him listening to the air conditioning and her own soul.

Finally, he sleeps and dreams with tropical birds flying around her, and concludes that the secret is the silence.
