Ephemeral Freedom

By Amilca Ismael

A girl is abandoned in front of an Emergency Room hospital department in Turin, she's in serious conditions. Who is she? What's her name? Where is she from? She's black, beautiful, she has unconventional green eyes and she's very young. As for the rest, nobody knows anything about her, now to the doctors she's just a body fighting between life and death. And it's in this very battle between life and death that the girl, in a hallucinated inner monologue, tries to remember her history. In the dreamlike space and time of the coma she has fallen into she pieces together her journey that, ten years before, brought her from a poor African village to Italy with the promise of education and more dignified life conditions. However, in Italy she doesn't find anything else but the horror of pedophilia and prostitution, she's abused, humiliated, manipulated by a network of wealthy and empty, anonymous and corrupted people. A moving story, an agonizing scream of pain for all women.
