Compulsive Liar

In this episode Emmanuel really hits rock bottom, from various points of view.

Lying, lying and more lying: this seems to have become second nature to him. He is unable to cope with the simple evidence that he has become totally dependent on Michelle and the drugs she supplies him with. He really couldn't go any lower than that.

The narrative voice is that of Emmanuel himself (AI Steffan Emmanuel); Michelle is played by Frieda (AI).

During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Winterfell" and "Candyman" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the kind permission; "Guarda che luna" by Fred Buscaglione; "In My Garden" by Swans.

Sexy Boy

Com'era da ragazzo "Massy", il grande amore di Gianni, ora affermato pittore (vedi episodio "La mostra")?

Be', molto sexy.

Gianni ed Emmanuel gli dedicano una stralunata cover di "Sexy Boy" degli Air, rimixata dai Taormina.

...

What was "Massy," Gianni's great love, now an established painter (see episode "The Exhibition"), like, as a boy?

Well, very sexy.

Gianni and Emmanuel dedicate to him a woozy cover of Air's "Sexy Boy," remixed by Taormina.

Editor's note:

We are experimenting with new AI, of the "LLM" type, which interprets the script differently each time. So we apologize if we will make continuous updates, but the matter is in very rapid development and we are struggling a bit to keep up with it.

The Exhibition I

Emmanuel has managed to convince Gianni to organize an exhibition of his best photographs, some of which depict himself, at a gallery in Milan.

Gianni agreed, on the condition that Emmanuel participate in the event incognito, or rather in disguise: he will play the role of Christian, Gianni's shy and insignificant secretary, with red hair and prescription glasses.

But the attentive and jealous Massimiliano, Gianni's partner, notices that something is amiss, so much so that he cannot avoid a scene in the presence of Countess Ajroldi di Robbiate.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel Del Monaco, Anthony, Mark and Janet (AI).

La mostra - Parte I

Emmanuel è riuscito a convincere Gianni ad organizzare una mostra delle sue migliori fotografie, alcune delle quali ritraggono lui stesso, in una galleria di Milano.

Gianni ha accettato, a patto che Emmanuel partecipi all'evento in incognito, o meglio sotto mentite spoglie: interpreterà il ruolo di Christian, il timido e insignificante segreterio di Gianni, con i capelli rossi e gli occhiali da vista.

Ma all'attento e geloso Massimiliano, il compagno di Gianni, non sfugge che qualcosa non quadra, tanto che non riesce ad evitare una scenata in presenza della contessa Ajroldi di Robbiate.

Gli interpreti sono Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Mark e Janet (AI).

Pee, Daddy! - Part II

And here we come to the fuse that sets off the situation between Emmanuel and Gianni.

The boy, greatly distressed by the accident that happened to little Martino while walking with him on the Orco stream (see previous episode "Pee, Daddy - Part I"), spends the afternoon with the child at the hospital, where the wound is treated and the little one is given a tetanus shot.

While Emmanuel is driving him home, in a foul mood and well aware of the reaction Antonia will have when she sees the child again in that condition, the boy receives a phone call from Gianni.

But Martino's presence at this juncture will prove explosive, and will precipitate the situation, which has reached a point of now unbearable tension.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Juliet, and Martino.

The soundtrack is a cover of "Sad Divide" by Autoheart.

Compulsive Liar

In questo episodio Emmanuel tocca veramente il fondo da svariati punti di vista.

Mentire, mentire e ancora mentire: questa sembra essere diventata la sua seconda natura. E' incapace di far fronte alla semplice evidenza di essere diventato totalmente dipendente da Michelle e dalla droga che lei gli procura. Più in basso di così non potrebbe scendere.

La voce narrante è quella di Emmanuel stesso (Paolo Malgioglio); Michelle è interpretata da Elisa Gandolfi.

Nel corso dell'episodio si possono ascoltare cover o live dei seguenti brani: "Winterfell" e "Candyman" di Static Bandz, che ringraziamo per il permesso accordatoci; "Guarda che luna" di Fred Buscaglione; "In My Garden" degli Swans.

Accidents On The Road

In this episode he is forced to understand this and to realize that the game is bigger than him.

The interpreters are Steffan Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).

During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Galaxy" and "Forbidden Chamber" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the permission; "Inhuman" by Sonic Youth; "Old Age" (bootleg) by Kurt Cobain.
