What emerges is the surreal picture of a group of sympathetic bewildered people, with whom th...

Dopo tanto soffrire per amore, Emmanuel ha voglia di divertirsi.

Guided by his personal Virgil, his friend Antonio, Emmanuel unknowingly begins his descent into the Underworld through the night clubs of alternative Turin.

Well, we didn't expect a homosexual crush from Emmanuel. Yet it is so. Forced by Antonia to interrupt their relationship and to go "other ways" (see Episode n. 1.18 "Blackout"), the boy, in the throes of profound bewilderment, finds a point of reference in Antonio, the woman's namesake, a his schoolmate a couple of years older than him, politically engaged and a lover of music like him. In this co...

The second part of the story begins here. Emmanuel, released from the relationship with Antonia, is literally projected into another universe, where he finds it hard to orient himself and risks committing many serious missteps. In retrospect, while writing the diary, he wonders how he got into Michelle's trap. All interpreters are AI.

Diciamo la verità: una sbandata in senso omosessuale non ce la aspettavamo da Emmanuel. E invece... Costretto da Antonia ad interrompere la loro relazione e ad andare "per altre vie" (vedi Episodio n. 1.18 "Blackout"), il ragazzo, in preda ad un profondo smarrimento, trova un punto di riferimento in Antonio, omonimo della donna, un suo compagno di scuola più grande di lui di un paio d'anni, politi...

Inizia qui la seconda parte della storia. Emmanuel, uscito dal rapporto con Antonia, si trova letteralmente proiettato in un altro universo, dove stenta ad orientarsi e rischia di commettere molti e gravi passi falsi. A posteriori, mentre scrive il diario, si domanda come abbia fatto a finire nella trappola di Michelle. La voce narrante è quella di Paolo Malgioglio.
