Write a short summary of what happens in the radio advert

We closed one of the IKEA’s rooms with a wall and we placed inside it a special amplifier that spread the sound of real domestic violence stories provided by Telefono Donna. "The Room" was an in-store ambient media that gets IKEA customers to stop their in-store journey and live a touching experience, like they were neighbor of a domestic violence victim. A message on the wall said: “Violence is closer than you think, sometimes there’s just a wall between you and it.”. A call to action invited customers to support and discover Telefono Donna.

Script

DONNA: Oh, mi senti? Mi stai ascoltando? WOMAN: Hey, are you listening to me? UOMO: Non ti permettere di parlarmi così. Ti sento, ti sento, se parli ti sento. Dicessi poi cose sensate. MAN: Don’t dare talk to me like that. I can hear you, I can hear you. If you only said things that make sense. DONNA: Abbassa la voce per favore, sennò lo svegli. WOMAN: Lower your voice or you’ll wake him. DONNA: Mi fai paura quando fai così. WOMAN: You scare me when you do that. UOMO: Oh, ancora con questa storia, per un paio di ceffoni. MAN: You’re still going on about a couple of slaps. UOMO: Vuoi proprio che ti metta le mani addosso eh? Ti ammazzerei quando fai così. MAN: You really want me to get rough with, hmmm? I want to kill you when you do that. DONNA: Ti devo pregare ogni volta che ho bisogno di qualcosa? WOMAN: I have to beg you every time I need something. UOMO (urlando): Sono MIEI soldi, quelli che IO guadagno. MAN(shouting): It’s MY money, the money that I earn. DONNA: Ma siamo in tre, perché fai così? WOMAN: But there are three of us! Why are you doing so? UOMO (urlando): E non rispondere! MAN (shouting): AND DON’T ANSWER BACK! DONNA: Non ti stavo rispondendo. WOMAN: I wasn’t answering back. SFX: Slaps and beatings SFX: Woman crying DONNA (piangendo): Ahia, mi hai fatto male, di nuovo. WOMAN (crying): Ow! Leave me alone! You hurt me… Again SFX: Woman crying SFX: Door closure
