A talented theater director suffers from a persistent form of anonymity. His love for his art will lead him to kidnap the customers of the supermarket where he works to use them to stage the most truthful representation of Romeo and Juliet ever seen, all live on social media, where his madness is supported by likes. But the truth comes at high costs, as the customers will soon discover.

Synopsis Marco is a talented theater director. His professional life, however, is a resounding failure. Excellent reviews, but very little audience. This is a condition, also motivated by the author's upright nature, who does not compromise and seeks radical adherence to truth in his performances. Exasperated, Marco hatches a madness that explodes inside a supermarket. There, with clients and salespeople employed as actors and technicians, he sets up his version of “Romeo and Juliet”. A moving, necessary, extremely realistic show. Success runs through social networks, with hits of "like". And it's great. But also very dangerous. Soon, the thrilling Shakespeare at the supermarket turns into a tragedy. For real.
