Lingua lunga (Big mouth) depicts a departing train, reflected in the eye of an old friend. Growing up in a small village in the Casentino Valley, we dreamed of leaving, convinced that elsewhere we would find a more authentic existence. That train, however, was never taken: out of fear, convenience, or perhaps because we realized that changing place alone is not enough to escape oneself. The title, deliberately sarcastic, alludes to the way time recalibrates past illusions, turning them into a bitter smile.
