dancers from the famous Opera Garnier (Paris opera, SC4 lot here) now did a moving clip, directed by Cédric Klapisch, expressing and celebrating social cohesion. Using music from Prokovjiev (Romeo & Juliet) but with two lovers beeing united at the end. A nice dialectic play of staying isolated at home and being united at the same time:

Did you know ...

around 1920 a young italian man had the idea to overcome parliamentarism and to strengthen the monarchy by returning to decsissions by gutt feeling instead of endless discussion and instead of democratic institutions like parliaments and elections and different indipendent courts deciding, having one man alone with one strong voice leading. Pushing all dilatoriness by different opinions aside and making Italy strong again.

This young man, named Benito Mussolini, founded a group, named themselves "fascists" (from the italian word "fascio" - bunch) which very quickly became very popular and took political adversaries one by one off the track.
