S01E01 — Parte prima

Rome, eighties. The film begins with scenes depicting Moana Pozzi (Violent Placido) under the shower, traumatized and dirty with blood, which recalls, in a state of shock, some episodes of his childhood when, for example, together with sister Mima he did Sub diving with his father or a time when he dances inappropriately in front of a man at a party, triggering his mother's wrath. After that, the narrative stabilizes for a while by showing us a young Moana who goes to a screening for a movie bringing a dream extract from William Shakespeare's mid-summer night. The filmmakers are impressed by the beauty of the girl who does not, however, accompany an equally excellent recitative talent.
