60 years of friendship, intertwined fates
They are best friends and enemies
Nourishing each other and plundering each other
Elena and Lila were born in the poor suburbs of Naples after World War II. Their friendship began when they exchanged dolls at the age of six. The energetic Lila sometimes went ahead and took Elena on adventures; the introverted Lila Elena redoubles her efforts so that she can always rival Lila. They support each other at important moments, but never lag behind when they reach the target first; this state of inspiring each other and treating each other as respectable opponents is the keynote of their sixty-year friendship.
But when the two were sixty-six years old, Lila suddenly disappeared. Lila never thought of running away or changing her identity, nor did she think of committing suicide. But she once said that she wanted every cell in her body to disappear and become invisible so that no one could find her again. Now, Lila wants to wipe out everything in her life, and she has already taken action. Elena decided to write down everything that was still in her memory to prevent Lila from erasing the traces of her life, and see who is the winner this time...
