«It is an honor for me to meet all your family, they are wonderful. You have a splendid daughter, a husband who would like her back with him». Like this Charlize Theronafter entering the television studio of You’ve Got Mail, she turned to Signora Franchina (Francesca) and her family, mourning the loss of Vincenzo. The 29-year-old son died in his sleep of cardiac arrhythmia. An unnatural mourning for a parent that deeply affected her mother, Franchina, who has since passed away.
To take her to You’ve Got Mail were the daughter Cristina and the father Alessandro in difficulty with his wife Francesca and the other son, Paolo. They addressed a letter to ask them to open the envelope and smile together again. «I miss my mom and my brother, Vincenzo loved our smile and only together will we be able to rekindle it. Life is sometimes ruthless but sometimes also surprising to the point of being like a movie».
«Life goes on» continued the Oscar-winning actress, visibly moved. «The wounds are recent and it is normal for her to feel this way but she will soon have to decide whether to stay like this or whether to start a new chapter. We never forget who is gone but we must remember those who are still here». At that point Charlize Theron gave some gifts to Franchina and her family, in particular giving her mother a special thought: the pendant she wore during the filming of the film The Old Guard.
«The film The Old Guard in which I acted is about immortals who seek the meaning of their lives. A very loved one gave me this pendant, I wore it throughout the film. I want to give you this pendant because if you think about the meaning of life, it’s right here in front of you.” Maria de Filippi asked the fateful question and mother Francesca had the envelope opened: «With Vincenzo in my heart». The magic of cinema and television has come true.
