1912. Giovanni Pascoli has died, and a train leaves from Bologna for his funeral. On board, students, officials, and family, including his sister Maria, called Mariù. It is a journey of national mourning, with people from all social classes paying homage to the poet. In Mariù’s recollections, we learn how Giovanni lived: his father’s assassination, his poverty as a youth, his political activism and fraught ties to Giosuè Carducci.
A dystopian world where reality isn’t certain and has no boundaries. A mad one, seeking a higher power, willing to do anything for it, even killing others. Two agents and a young scientist on his trail. A rush against time where everyone’s skills will be put to the test.
Some studies suggest that after a person’s death, the brain continues its activity for another seven minutes, during which one can relive their entire life. But if it were possible to choose what to relive, as a final test, what would happen? Enea decides to relive his own death, to discover who killed him and why. But is this the right way to honor the time that has passed? Or does death, like life, offer no explanations?
Alberto is a quiet, solitary eighteen-year-old who prefers to lose himself in the pirate escapades of Captain Morgan and Admiral Coen rather than face a reality where socializing feels difficult.

But there is also Sofia, a classmate who, by taking a step forward and reaching out to him, helps Alberto overcome his fears and opens the door to a new perspective.
Iris is a teenager like any other, but she has been hiding a disturbing ability since childhood: every time she begins to care about someone, that person dies. For this reason, her mother takes her to an isolated house in the countryside, so she can no longer hurt anyone. As Iris grows up and becomes aware of her condition, the help of Zaìra proves essential—a mysterious woman who seems to live on the other side of the woods and who will become her mentor.
