BRIEF
In bottiglia è meglio? [Is it better in the bottle?]
We are thrown in a fictional and paradoxical world, where bottled water is used instead of tap water for literally everything. Because of this plastic waste surrounds people’s lives. We then find out it was all just a nightmare and we return to real life. TARGET Young citizens (16-40 years old) from Milan because they are the future and they should be the one to be alert to this issue.
