Classical
A young doctoral student in particle physics, CÉCILE will finally meet Fabio PEPE. At the end of this meeting with the double Nobel Prize, the promise of a brilliant future. But her heavy family heritage, with which she has been at odds for years, resurfaced suddenly when ENZO, her older scientific/charlatan brother, interrupted the famous conference and claimed to have completed the work initiated by their father thirty years earlier.
Scientist
The scientific method consists in constantly proving that the opposite of what it states is impossible. After some time without being contradicted, some statements become laws, and sometimes even models. The most difficult thing when a contrary statement becomes possible is not so much to get back to work as to wake up from the hypnosis into which the need for truth had plunged us.
Enigma
Take any profession. Any discipline. Any niche... Assume that in each of these niches, there has always been an individual whose work has been mocked by everyone for more than 30 years! Except now, as for everyone else, this niche is getting stuck. Decrease. All this. We need solutions... Question: does that mean that the pay was right? No, it has nothing to do with that. We are in agreement.
