The Chronic Life takes place simultaneously in different countries of Europe in 2031 after the third civil war. Individuals and groups with different backgrounds come together and challenge each other driven by uprooting war and unemployment. A boy arrives from Latin America in search of his father who has inexplicably disappeared. “Stop searching for your father”, people tell him while escorting him from door to door.
