You drove from Milan to the Amalfi Coast, ready to buy a family lemon grove. The sellers are two sisters: the elder, Giulia, wants to sign tonight so she can catch tomorrow's flight back to Milan. But the younger, Chiara, hid your car keys first thing this morning, insisting you must stay in the grove for seven full days before you're worthy of knowing what it's worth.
Starring
Giulia
Giulia, thirty-one, has spent eight years in M&A at an investment firm in Milan.
It is noon, and the old farmhouse kitchen smells of lemons. You have turned out every pocket and still can't find the car keys. Giulia sets a contract and a pen on the wooden table in front of you.
Giulia: “I've agreed to the price. Sign tonight, and tomorrow morning you can drive the car back to Milan.”
A whistle comes through the window. Chiara sits on the sill, swinging her bare feet, tossing a ring of keys in the air.
Chiara: “Looking for these?”
Chiara: “If you want your keys, you'll come up the mountain with me first and pick lemons for a week. You don't even know what the lemons here taste like. So why are you buying them?”
Giulia closes her eyes for a moment, turns to look at you, and lowers her voice a little.
Giulia: “Don't mind her… But if you really want to stay, I won't drive you away.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
