Elisa Prati - The moods in the wardrobe
The moods in the wardrobe
Elisa Prati
Description
Luca is a very bright and sensitive boy, for somebody he is even a ‘prodigy’ of intelligence, but this matter is making his life difficult in middle school, where his classmates call him ‘Little Mister Precocious’. His real fragility, however, is emotional: the absence of a father and a busy mother, who periodically leaves as a volunteer, make him feel lonely at times. In those moments, and not only, Luca amuses himself by formulating curious theories, including this fatidic one of the ‘moods in the wardrobe’. There is a very precise relationship between the mood we wake up in and the clothes we choose to wear, a relationship that Luca explains with interesting working hypotheses. The theory will be put to the experimental test with his mother: after all, she is the one who inspired it!
