SYNOPSIS:

​

Skyscrapers cells split into other skyscrapers cells and, stretching themselves along the seashore like shining cliffs of concrete and glass, compete with each other for those which touch more stars.

A fragrant woman, dressed in gold and gems, leaves the house at sunset;
her voice, the sweet song of the Muezzin mixed with the sound of hammers at work.
She has the skin of sand and blood of oil and, as the desert has taught her, makes mirage her beauty.

​

 

Cellule di grattacieli si scindono in altre cellule di grattacieli e, estendendosi lungo la riva del mare come brillanti scogli di vetro e cemento, gareggiano tra loro a chi tocca più stelle.

 

Una donna profumata, vestita di oro e di gemme, esce di casa al tramonto;

la sua voce, il dolce canto del Muezzin intercalato al rumore di martelli a lavoro.

Ha la pelle di sabbia e sangue di petrolio e, come il deserto le ha insegnato, fa del miraggio la sua bellezza.
