Welcome to Litsy!

5,000 Kilometers Per Second tells - or almost tells - the love story between Piero and Lucia, which begins with a casual glance exchanged by teenagers across the street through a window and ends with a last, desperate hook-up between two older, sadder one-time lovers. Executed in stunning watercolours and broken down into five chapters, this story only refers to the actual romance obliquely, focusing instead on its first stirrings and episodes in their life during which they are separated - a narrative twist that makes it even more poignant and heart wrenching.
