Il vecchio [English translation]

Broad daylight, on the perimeter wall of a school, there are three red posters. Three instances, hung one next to the other. An argument, printed in a minuscule font, but with an enormous title: ATTENTION CITIZENS, a kind of literature no one ever reads, except once in a while, an old gentleman who stops by, puts on his glasses and deciphers it line by line until the end.

Then he steps back, shaking his head, puts his glasses back into the case, puts the case into the pocket, and resumes his walk, puzzled, wondering whether he missed the essential part.

Once in a while, in fact, some suspicious word stands out, like an enlightening torch. And the sentence this word enlightens, seems to hide many things for an instant... or nothing at all.

The perfectly oiled mechanism of life goes on. The man is already distant.
