Al mondo esiste davvero una sola anima gemella che ci completa?
Is there really only one soul mate in the world that completes us?
Quattro Metà racconta le storie di quattro persone che si incontrano a una cena e si accoppiano per formare due coppie romantiche. Ma, la storia prende una svolta interessante quando intravediamo una realtà alternativa e vediamo cosa accadrebbe se i protagonisti dovessero accoppiarsi in modo diverso. Quale rapporto funziona meglio? Insieme, rifletteremo non solo sulla grammatica italiana e sul nuovo vocabolario, ma discuteremo anche l’idea: esistono coppie perfette??
Quattro Metà tells the stories of four people who meet at a dinner party and pair up to form two romantic couples. But, the story takes an interesting twist when we glimpse an alternate reality and view what would happen if the protagonists were to pair up differently. Which relationship works better? Together, we will ponder not only Italian grammar and new vocabulary but also discuss the idea: Do perfect couples exist!??
