Adele and Marcello were marked by fate at birth: they were born on the
16th of April 1927, at the same moment, delivered by their mothers just a
few inches from each other. From that moment on the two of them live in
continual symbiosis, magically sharing sensations, emotions and
experiences. Before a scanty group of friends and with the complicity of
Loris, an awkward
altar boy a few years older, they celebrate, still
children, their unlikelymarriage.
Inside a small abandoned chapel they swear
eternal love and exchange two rubber rings made from a bicycle inner tube.
The pair in love lose sight of each other not long afterwards, separated by
the events of the second world war, but their dream, fed with hope and
memories, will continue.
Adele’s and Marcello’s lives run parallel for long years, overlapping at times by a destiny that lets them brush close to each other for a few seconds, for a few yards, or for a word or two.
For Loris, witness and narrator of their long story, the two friends at
times seem terribly close, soul mates inevitably attracted by a natural
reciprocal dependency; at times the same magic that unites them seems to
move them away from each other irreparably.
In spite of this, their inseparable rubber ring keeps them from feeling
alone, always giving them the impression of the same feeling being exchanged
without reservations, the hope of having someone somewhere to count on.
