On a winter morning in Catania, Rachele return to the apartment she once shared with Paolo to gather her belongings. As she packs, ordinary objects bring back traces of their recently ended relationship. Their emotional value recalls the tradizion of the bridal trousseau, opening a reflection across generations on the meaning we give to objects, home, and relationships today.

Emilia and Caterina write letters to each other, revisiting their adolescent memories and earliest experiences at a boarding school in the 1950s. ​Did they choose the lives they truly wanted, or only those they dared to imagine?

From amateur archive footage a 6 episodes film for a new collective memory, after the quarantine period.

"He and I" narrates the reflections of a woman in her role as wife and mother lived between imposition and choice. Through the editing of the shootings of a single filmmaker who portrays his wife and life, the woman narrates herself being in opposition to her husband’s world, a militant always far from home. A reworking of female status as a political act to tell that love is an act of acceptance of differences and that personal memories are part of the collective history.
