A White Horse

With this episode Emmanuel enters a dimension between the Platonic and the medieval, committing himself with all his strength in an attempt at resurrection from the materiality into which he has fallen, also overwhelming Antonia with him.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Alice.

Gates of Eden - Part II

This episode, of particular length and importance, is proposed in two parts, of which this is the second.

Emmanuel has won the game with Antonia, managing to tie her to him in an almost pathological way and creating a serious dependence in her.

The soundtrack includes songs and covers by Syml ("Where is my love" and "Mr. Sandman") and Lana Del Rey ("Heroin").

Gates of Eden - Part

This episode, of particular length and importance, is proposed in two parts, of which this is the first.

A passionate and "red light" Emmanuel recalls his new experience with Antonia, whom he regained in the previous episode ("Special Effects").

The boy experiences this reconquest with exhilaration and enthusiasm, but now, at eighteen, he is perfectly able to realize the difficulties of the situation and how much things have changed for both of them.

However, determined to continue on his path, Emmanuel does not hesitate to resort to all the means at his disposal to keep Antonia tied to him.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Antonia.

The soundtrack includes songs and covers by Syml ("Where is my love" and "Mr. Sandman") and Nirvana ("Moist Vagina").

Pudim de quejo

And poor Carlos?

We all understood that he was in love with Emmanuel, but above all he cared about him with all his heart.

How will he react to his abandonment, never hearing from him again?

Predictably, he suffers like a dog. Luckily for him he has his sister Mayra at his side, good and affectionate, who takes care of him and consoles him.

The interpreters are Nova and Onyx (AI).

The soundtrack consists of a mix of instrumental versions of "Take me to church" by Hozier and "Despedida" by Eugénio Tavares.

In the finale you can hear Emmanuel and Carlos singing "Cripple and the Starfish", a beautiful song by Antony and The Johnsons.

Special Effects

Another crucial episode of the novel-podcast.

The illness has given Emmanuel time to clarify himself and has made him lucid and determined: he wants Antonia back at any cost.

To achieve his goal, he is even willing to rig the cards and play a melodramatic role that completely displaces Antonia. It's full-blown blackmail, and he knows it well; but Love, as Plato says, is the son of Expedient and is therefore unscrupulous: Emmanuel is ready for anything to bring down Antonia's defensive barriers and take back what he has always considered to be his.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Alice.

During the episode, particularly rich in special effects, as the title suggests, you can listen to covers or instrumental versions of the soundtrack of "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, "Girl you'll be a woman soon" by Neil Diamond, "Polly" by Nirvana, "It's five o' clock" by Aphrodite's Child, an excerpt from "Scimmia" by Eugenio Finardi and a cover of "I want you" by Bob Dylan.

Tabula rasa

Meanwhile, his older brother Michele is increasingly worried about him.

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Vincent, Nicole, Allison and Anthony,
