1. Violetta Rossi vive in un piccolo appartamento a Verona. Durante la settimana lavora in ufficio, e la sera le piace cucinare, chiamare sua sorella e guardare la televisione sul divano. La sua vecchia TV non va più molto bene. L’immagine è scura, il suono è debole, e a volte lo schermo diventa nero per qualche secondo. Venerdì sera, succede di nuovo durante il suo programma preferito. Violetta guarda lo schermo nero e sospira. Dice a se stessa: “Adesso basta. Domani compro una TV nuova.”
