✨2018 Watty Winner✨ Two men in love torn apart by war. Yuri Karamov's existence is like Schrödinger's cat, simultaneously both dead and alive. In Ru Konstantin's mind, Yuri's still the same vibrant young man he was when their lives diverged. But the question, the one Ru is too afraid to acknowledge, is whether his best friend turned first love is still alive. In the span of eighteen years, their hometown of Dronesk goes from a quiet, humdrum town to a besieged territory of the BKA; a radical militia group who wants to eradicate the Arash--people like Ru--from Rujga Province. Yuri Karamov is one of the recruits fighting for a Brommian liberation. After years of lost contact, Ru returns to Dronesk in search of his best friend, confronting not only the ruins of his ancestral home and the new realities of a post-liberation movement, but questions about love, freedom, and the price of self-governance. If We Exist, is a coming-of-age story that examines friendship, sexuality, class struggles and ethnic tensions through the lens of Ru Konstantin; desperate, anxiety-ridden, and awfully nostalgic.

«T'ho amato più di quanto fosse lecito.» Emanuele è nato e cresciuto in periferia, tra lunghe estati in spiaggia, partite di calcetto dopo il catechismo e domeniche trascorse davanti al televisore, a guardare la Roma giocare. A diciott'anni - senza casa, senza lavoro e senza diploma, con una famiglia che gli si è sgretolata tra le mani - tutto ciò che gli resta è Valerio, l'amico di una vita. Emanuele e Valerio si amano, si appartengono, si completano, ma l'arrivo di Giada cambia tutto. O forse no.
