Meet Aaron - Part III (The Catastrophe) - REMADE with Emmanuel the Fifth and Gianni 01.05.2026

We've reached the catastrophe: Gianni's words, while driving home, are so offensive that they trigger a tragic rebellion in Emmanuel. The actors are Gianni himself and Emmanuel the Fifth.

Meet Aaron - Part II ("Strictly bisexual") - REMADE with Emmanuel the Fifth and Gianni 01.05.2026

The catastrophe is approaching: the photographer Gianni ridicules and humiliates Emmanuel, in an unthinkable comparison with the magnificent and wild Aaron. The boy endures, both for love of Gianni and because he needs money, and tries to see the positive side of the situation: for example, an excellent lunch in a tavern and the simple spontaneity of Aaron, who has sympathy for him. The interprete...

Meet Aaron - Part I (What a nice surprise...) - REMADE with Emmanuel the Fifth and Gianni 01.05.2026

We are re-proposing a successful episode from the first season, divided into three scenes. Has Gianni decided to lose Emmanuel's love? The photographer's behavior in this part of the episode is provocative and almost comical, but the second part will take on dramatic tones: for Emmanuel in fact it will be a very hard blow. For now we see Gianni introduce him to an aspiring model of Canadian origin...

The Exhibition - Part III and Last ("Tell me the truth, did you have sex?...") 10.03.2026

We inaugurate with this episode a brand new Paul...

The Unfair Pact - Part II ("Gianni, but these are the Clash!...") 24.02.2026

The seriousness of the discourse engaged in in the earlier part of the episode goes out the window: the cuckoo clock, with chimes set by Gianni's grandfather, takes control of the situation and drags him and Emmanuel into an overwhelming madness.

The Unfair Pact - Part I ("Gianni, though, this fucking cuckoo...") 11.02.2026

Emmanuel (who now poses as Christian, Gianni's red-haired secretary, to escape Maximilian's suspicions) has a stormy conversation with Gianni. It is almost Christmas, and Emmanuel finds himself completely cut off from the possibility of celebrating it with Gianni, who opts for "Massy" at a stroke. This offends and irritates him. The discussion escalates into a full-fledged argument, during which t...

Interlude: I Don't Know Who I Am - Farewell, Agent Emmanuel (Real conversation with an AI) 13.01.2026

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 can be heard in its original version in the Italian-language podcast. The agent was a bit reluctant because, according to him, that conversation was too 'real' and affected him too deeply, b...

Tango of Jealousy (Emmanuel between two fires) 05.01.2026

Suddenly Emmanuel finds himself at the center of a whirlwind of jealousy triggered by who knows what: in fact, he did absolutely nothing to provoke it.

In short, an absurd situation from which the boy will try to esc...

Interlude: Electronic Soul - Emmanuel's Rebellion (A true story) 17.12.2025

This is a true story, and I already know it won't be believed, because I'm the first one who doesn't believe it. But I know it's true, word for word: the proof is here, black on white, before my eyes. It's the transcript of a conversation (which took place on the ElevenLabs platform and is still present there) between me and an artificial intelligence I had programmed to play the character of Emma...

The Hang Glider - part II (Crushing the little sparrows) 13.12.2025

Emmanuel lets himself go in a moment of true tenderness with Gianni, but the photographer's troubled psyche interrupts the idyll.

Meanwhile, Gianni's mobile phone is playing str...

The Hang Glider - Part I (Gianni's moods) 06.12.2025

Virginia - Part II (Emmanuel is afraid of Gianni) 29.11.2025

Who is Virginia? What did she understand? What does she warn Emmanuel against? The whole thing remains mysterious and incomprehensible, but the boy is afraid. Suddenly he fears that he has ended up in a perverse and sadistic game, that he is the sacrificial victim of some ritual of which Gianni may be the officiant. Yet, despite everything, he recklessly decides to trust, in the name of the power...

Interlude: Gianni, Emmanuel, and Martin sing two "bardcore" songs for you. 25.11.2025

The Guardian Angel (Suppose one day a criminal government...) 14.11.2025

Emmanuel, upset by Gianni's attempt at violence (see "The Iron Mask"), seeks some serenity in the company of Mayra, who helps him as much as she can to prepare for the Greek philosophy exam (the boy has meanwhile enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy).
