Trama:
Jolanda Buccella nasce in un piccolo paesino della
provincia di Salerno, ma da tempo vive a Milano col sogno di affermarsi
come racconta storie. Divoratrice compulsiva di libri, lasagne e ciliegie, ha
una passione sfegata per il Milan, i bulldog e un giorno amerebbe vivere in una
casetta sul lago come quella del film "La casa sul lago del tempo"
interpretato da Sandra Bullock e Keanu Reaves.
Nota dell’autrice:
Ho cambiato i piani per te è nato
nella primavera del 2020 mentre nel mondo imperversava la pandemia. La
scrittura mi ha dato la possibilità di sopravvivere a quello che mi
succedeva intorno, di alzarmi con uno scopo: dare forma e consistenza ai miei
personaggi. L’idea è nata in uno dei tanti infiniti pomeriggi di
quarantena, quando su Youtube, ho trovato la canzone di Paola Turci Offline e
le parole del testo, la musica, il video in cui la cantante interagisce con un
bellissimo attore italiano, loro due insieme, mi hanno
restituito positività: la voglia di impegnare il tempo in qualcosa di
produttivo. L’alchimia che i miei occhi hanno visto in quelle immagini, quando
lui entra in una stanza di un palazzo antico, lei lo abbraccia da dietro,
ha acceso la mia ispirazione: “Offline è un momento di riflessione che fa
un uomo su se stesso. Su quello che è diventato, su quello che ha perso e che
vorrebbe ritrovare», Ha detto la Turci in un'intervista spiegando il senso
della sua opera e leggendola mi sono commossa perché Offline mi ha
ispirato esattamente questo.
ESTRATTO
«Prima di starle accanto io ero come un puzzle
dimenticato nella sua scatola: tutto scomposto. I pezzi li ha messi insieme lei.
Quel puzzle è riuscito a formarlo mettendo tutto al posto giusto con la sua
dolcezza, la sua capacità di ascoltare i miei pensieri, i miei sogni più
insensati. E mentre lei ordinava il puzzle della mia autostima io sistemavo
quello delle mie emozioni. Mi sono accorto di provare delle cose completamente
nuove per me: tenerezza, senso di protezione, voglia di condividere il tempo
con lei. Desiderio di toccarla. Di baciarla forte. Imparare ad aspettare per
assaporare appieno il momento. Scoprire che un bacio tanto atteso può togliere
il respiro, regalare una felicità mai conosciuta: una felicità vera, piena, irripetibile.»
Paola is a
woman marked by life in soul and body. In her soul she bears the signs of
mourning, the loss of her husband and child, following a road accident; in the
body the indelible scars of that damned crash that made it shy from the gaze of
the people. Paola has nothing left, she doesn't dare want anything anymore. The
only thing that continues to keep her alive is her little Bistrot in the center
of Perugia. Only when she is in her laboratory, hands-on, can she feel some
relief from the torments that afflict her. Federico is a young man who
apparently has it all. He is beautiful, rich, yet deep down he hides a pain
that nothing and no one has ever managed to relieve: not even the psychotropic
drugs he has abused for years. Federico thinks he is responsible for the death
of his sister, which took place thirteen years earlier during a boat trip and
it is a sense of guilt that never leaves him. Paola and Federico meet during a
reception. Theirs seems like a chance meeting, but in reality it is not: he
knows he will find her at that event, which she organized it and tries to go
there just to see her. Federico has known Paola since the night of her
accident, she was silently beside her during her convalescence and the
determination with which he saw her react prompted him to open his eyes: to say
enough of a life of excess that risked killing him. It is thanks to her example
that she decided to enter a clinic to detoxify, even though she doesn't know
it. Paola does not know that she has represented a lifeline for the young man
in the long and tortuous path of freeing him from medicines, that she has given
him the courage not to give up in the two years it has lasted. And in the end,
when he returns healed to Perugia, he finally decides to meet her face to face.
Only once, he promises his friend Carlo that he knows the whole story. But a
few words exchanged under a mid-January sky, strangely full of stars, are
enough to understand that it will not be once and never again. The need to be
close to her will prove stronger than reason. Day after day, meeting after
meeting, she will make Federico feel the need to give a meaning and a name to
what binds him to her since that famous night five years ago: which prompted
him to change his plans for her.
Author's note:
I changed my plans for you was born in
the spring of 2020 while the pandemic was raging in the world. Writing gave me
the opportunity to survive what was happening around me, to stand up with a
purpose: to give shape and consistency to my characters. The idea was born in
one of the many endless quarantine afternoons, when on Youtube, I found the
song by Paola Turci Offline and the words of the text, the music, the video in
which the singer interacts with a beautiful Italian actor, the two of them.
together, they gave me back positivity: the desire to commit time to something
productive. The alchemy that my eyes saw in those images, when he enters a room
in an ancient building, she hugs him from behind, ignited my inspiration:
"Offline is a moment of reflection that makes a man about himself . On
what he has become, on what he has lost and what he would like to find again
", Turci said in an interview explaining the meaning of her work and
reading it I was moved because Offline inspired me exactly this
