Life seen as clouds rolling by. The course of history as the waves of a sea change representing today's social instability. Chiesa enlists the help of meteorologist Luca Mercalli and mathematician-musician Iain McLarty in an unusual presentation that mixes animation and scientific enquiry to describe contemporary society in which job uncertainty, climate change, and energy crisis pose the greatest challenges.
