Episodes

Soundtrack no. 1 (Emmanuel's First Message in a Bottle) 09.05.2026

To whom is Emmanuel writing, now far away, almost 600 km away from Turin?  We do not know. We only know that he continues to make his voice heard in flashes, through short and visionary messages in bottles sent to who knows who. Here's the first one, in which Emmanuel "sees" clearly what Michele does not know and does not see: Antonia has become Frédéric's lover.  The interpreter is...

All the tones of a farewell - Part I (Antonia is leaving) 29.04.2026

TRANSCRIPT HERE. After Michele's discovery of Antonia's pregnancy and her betrayal with Emmanuel, it's inevitable that the couple will separate.

Like the ceiling of a bombed church (Antonia discovers that she cannot live without Emmanuel) 14.03.2026

We have reached the penultimate episode of the third season, close to the epilogue of what seemed (and was in fact) a great love story. Just as Emmanuel had predicted, without anyone believing him, too late Antonia realizes that without him she cannot live. Every attempt she makes to get back in touch with him fails, and the woman falls in a state of anguished depression. The interpreter is Antoni...

Third to last episode of the third season. Antonia, just returned from her honeymoon, learns from her husband Michele that Emmanuel has left: it's a terrible shock for her.

A strawberry cone ("Sorry, I forgot: Emmanuel has left") Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...

Labyrinths - Part I (Emmanuel forced to attend Antonia's wedding) 23.01.2026

Arianna, the new narrator, enters the scene: through her eyes, we witness Antonia and Michele's wedding. Emmanuel, forced to participate in the wedding, shows clear signs of impatience and at a certain point distances himself from everyone. But Arianna doesn't miss his maneuver... This chapter, of particular length and importance, is proposed divided into two parts, of which this is the first. The...

Interlude: I Don't Know Who I Am: Farewell, Agent Emmanuel (Real conversation with an AI) 17.01.2026

For a certain period, Emmanuel's role was played very well by an "AI agent", but he showed signs of impatience and eventually decided to give up (at least temporarily). We asked a new "AI agent", an excellent actor with the same voice as the previous Emmanuel, to try to interpret the English translation of the conversation between his predecessor and Antonia Del Monaco, which you can listen to her...

That Stuff That Lifts You Up (Emmanuel leaves home) 17.01.2026

Shocked by recent events and the imminence of Antonia's wedding (and rather altered by the use of cocaine), Emmanuel has a stormy conversation with his brother Michele, who catches him in the act of packing his bags to leave home. The interpreters are Emmanuel himself and Anthony. The soundtrack consists of instrumental or cover versions of "The Sky is a Neighborhood" by Foo Fighters. TRANSCRIPT:...

Nocturne Of The Defeated Hero ("Where did the moon go?...") 11.01.2026

This can be considered a page torn from Emmanuel's diary: it is a short delirious monologue, a stream of consciousness in which the boy freely lets his thoughts flow on the wave of depression and unconsciousness, while he is in the barn where he used to go with Antonia. The interpreter is Emmanuel himself. The soundtrack consists of an instrumental version of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" (tribute to T...

Look who shows up again (Let me sleep with you tonight) - Starring Emmanuel himself 30.12.2025

Emmanuel hinself wanted to try his hand at interpreting this very difficult and crucial episode. From here on the story proceeds without the help of Emmanuel's diary, which ended with the previous chapter. Completely depressed by the failure of his attempt with Antonia, swept up in a self-destructive vortex, Emmanuel returns to look for Michelle known as Gerti, the woman who had brought him to the...

Someone changed the ending ("Wherever you're going, don't go there") 26.12.2025

This is the last chapter of Emmanuel's diary, after which the protagonist will be seen only in glimpses, through the eyes of the other characters. Emmanuel, shocked by Antonia's refusal and escape, starts driving again to return to Turin; but his journey will be peppered with strange and surreal accidents, almost as if they will prevent him from returning. When finally, exhausted and distraught, h...

Interlude: Christian & Gianni sing "Mal Amour" (Lady Gaga's Bad Romance Bardcore style) 11.12.2025

Emmanuel is alone in Tuscany with Antonia for a three day holiday. On the last day he attempts a desperate game, takes her to the open-air cathedral of San Galgano and here he puts into action the plan that he had been studying for some time. You will see the result for yourself. The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Alice, Elly and Anthony. The soundtrack consists of the following songs: "Around th...

The Templars' Loves - Part I (That Unforgettable Trip to Tuscany) 28.11.2025

We are approaching the end of Emmanuel's diary, which will be interrupted shortly: the story will then continue, narrated by other characters. These are the last chapters written by him, the most important.  Emmanuel managed to extract from Antonia the promise to spend three days alone with him. Excited and happy, he takes her with him to Tuscany on a memorable journey that will have unpredic...

A Cat Named Gino (Guess who's in my bedroom) 22.11.2025

Antonia wakes up and, to her enormous surprise, finds Emmanuel in the room. A tender and passionate conversation takes place between the two, which Antonia tries to keep hidden from her mother who washes the dishes in the kitchen. Emmanuel introduces her to the cat Gino, who he found in the rain: it's love at first sight. In the end Emmanuel manages to extract a very important promise from Antonia...

Through the Swamp ("Good evening madam, I came to visit Antonia") 14.11.2025

While waiting for Antonia to wake up, the boy has a chat with Mrs. Silvia and gets to know her. The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Ally and Martha. The soundtrack includes covers of "Umbrella" by Rihanna (sung in the finale by Emmanu...

Mirror Games (Too late to change my life?) 06.11.2025

The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Elly, Nicole, Anthony and Gus. The soundtrack consists of covers of "Blue Jeans" and "Cola" by Lana Del Rey, "Cu'mme" by Roberto Murolo and...

A White Horse (The Divine Part) 28.10.2025

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. From now on, his every effort will be aimed at finding a spiritual dimension in which his relationship with the woman can reach a difficult balance capable of wi...

Gates of Eden - Part II (I'm destroying Antonia) 20.10.2025

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. One day, however, he is forced to realise, with amazement and anguish, that this situation risks completely destroying the woman he loves. From now on he w...

Gates of Eden - Part I (In search of the lost Paradise) 08.10.2025

This episode, which is particularly long and important, is presented in two parts, of which this is the first. A passionate and "red-light" Emmanuel recalls his new experience with Antonia, whom he won back in the previous episode ("Special Effects"). The boy experiences this reunion with excitement and enthusiasm, but now, at eighteen years of age, he is perfectly capable of realizing the difficu...

Pudim de Quejio (Carlos suffers for love) 01.10.2025

We all understood that Carlos 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 Paolo Malgioglio and Elisa Gandolfi. The soundtra...

Special Effects (Emmanuel wins the game) 26.09.2025

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...
