1. Черный принц
A middle-aged novelist narrates his descent into obsessive love and tangled rivalries after becoming involved with a much younger woman, weaving a self-defensive confession that exposes jealousy, betrayal and moral ambiguity; the story interrogates artistic creation, the slipperiness of truth and the destructive effects of possessive desire on relationships and identity.

3. Il Mare, Il Mare
A self-important, retired theatre director withdraws to an isolated seaside house to write his memoirs but becomes consumed by memories of a former love and tries to recapture and possess the past; his schemes and self-deceptions collide with the lives of the people he has drawn into his orbit and with the indifferent, elemental sea, producing both comic absurdities and painful reckonings as the narrative probes obsession, ego, morality, and the gap between imaginative fantasy and moral reality.
