Trinca discussed cinema as a form of magic and the communal experience of film viewing. Mika shared his views on teaching and adapting rules to individuals. 'Monolith', directed by Ivan Silvestrini and based on a comic by Racchioni, tells the story of a mother trapped outside her car with her child inside.
