A NETFLIX SERIES

There are days when you feel it in your bones.

You know that nothing is gonna go your way.

Those are the days that should start as late as possible.

Oh, fuck.

Do you like it?

It's, uh, beautiful.

We're having a baby.

I know, I know. It wasn't really planned.

It's pretty big news.

It's so weird, huh?

I'm gonna be a dad.

So then...

the ring.

Do you like it?

Mm-hmm.

Thanks.

Here I am.

Hey!

Sweetheart, we spent a beautiful six months together.

Cristina...

...will you marry me?

Yes, yes!

Whoo!

ARIES

Paola?

Do you even listen to me when I'm talking?

- I said he's going to have a baby! - Where are you, Alice?

When he was with me, he wasn't ready.

Just five years, four months, twelve days, and he wasn't ready!

You have to stay calm.

And then some pretty young thing shows up and poof!

Now he's ready!

I know how this must hurt, but...

You should've seen his face when he told me, Paola.

His eyes sparkled.

Honey, you're torturing yourself. What's the point?

Why did he have to go and get another girl pregnant?

Why does he even have to marry her?

And me?

Are you super drunk?

Why are you whispering, Paola?

I can't hear a word you're saying.

You gotta shout, like in the old days.

Shout with me, Paola.

Fuck Carlo and Cristina!

Hey! Why the hell are you yelling?

- Oh God. - Alice?

Oh, sorry.

Everything okay?

There, there. I'll go. I'll go.

Sandro just woke up. I'll call you tomorrow.

- Here you go. - Something fell.

But you get in a taxi and go home. Got that?

Here.

- Alice? - Good night!

You got that?

We need to be realistic.

I would never want to hurt you,

but I am so tired. I keep disappointing you.

- Your memory won't come back. - I'm so, so sorry!

- The truth is I'm still a stranger. - Gosh, no! It doesn't matter.

Disasters and weddings, sooner or later,

become funny stories.

CRISTINA 75 LIKES

Franco...

How can you look at the girl you love

and convince yourself it's time to leave?

Why are we raised on romantic comedies

if those stories never happen in real life?

In those films, two people like me and Carlo, for instance,

who've been together for a long time,

who may have had their ups and downs...

They still, in the end, always get a happy ending.

CONGRATULATIONS, I'M PISSED IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!

In the movies,

the heroine never ends up celebrating some other girl's happy ending.

CONGRATULATIONS, I'M PISSED SENT

Now back to the studio for the morning news at 8:30 a.m.

IMPORTANT MEETING!!! 9.30 AM

Oh God, no!

Wait!

Shit! Ugh...

Hey!

No! No, wait! Wait!

Stop, stop! Stop.

To the Dock Studios.

Thanks.

♪ That's my reward for working hard ♪

♪ I get dollas and credit cards When I'm on the mic ♪

Thanks.

- Alice! - Oh!

- You disappeared last night. - Yeah. I'm sorry.

- Something came up. - You missed the best part.

It's beautiful!

However, I messaged you about it.

Of course.

Yeah, I saw. Thanks.

So happy for you both!

Excuse me, though.

It's very late and I better get going.

- We got that meeting. - Alice?

Yes?

You have something on your skirt.

Oh, shit. The newspaper.

Okay, okay.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

DRESSING ROOMS STUDIO B

Are you new?

It's been a while since I was new, frankly.

Have a nice day.

They're both cute.

But if you're gonna be on camera, I would switch the jacket.

Nope, nope. Not going on camera.

Ah.

Since you seem to be choosing a skirt from the dressing room,

I presumed it was work related.

Yes, because I've worked here a long time.

Unlike you.

You'll excuse me, sir.

I have a lot to do.

Alice?

Jesus Christ. We're about to start the meeting in ten.

Calm down, I'm here.

Go down to the cafe and get us decent coffee and pastries.

Only the good stuff.

- And napkins too. - All finished.

And did you get a chance to check on the room?

- You know how Bodrato is about that. - I'll do it now.

Act fast.

- Hey. - Oh, shit.

Hey.

You wandered off last night.

You do realize that you missed

the most important night of my life, right?

Um... So sorry. There was an emergency. Forgive me.

- An emergency? - Yeah.

My mom, yeah.

She wasn't feeling well, and I had to split. I'm sorry.

Oh God. I'm sorry. Will she be alright?

- Should I call her? - No. She's better now. Thanks.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- She'd appreciate it. - Sure. But she's better. Thanks.

Morning.

Morning, Loredana.

- Hi. - Hello.

Good morning.

Don't mind me.

Please, carry on.

Hello, my love.

Morning. Thanks, sweetheart.

- Good morning, guys! - Good morning.

- Hi, good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Please.

Here we are, folks. So...

You all know that I have always considered

Dora TV as some sort of family.

And family should share with each other.

The bad news and the good news.

Today we have both.

The good news is that our family is growing,

as my marvelous assistant, Cristina,

will soon give birth to a little Carlo.

- Thanks. - I told you I had good news!

- Congratulations. - If that was the good news...

- That's wonderful! - That's right.

- Thank you. - Let's keep it down.

The bad news is that Channel 8 will not

renew our contract for Wake Up, Torino,

unfortunately for us.

- Are you serious? - Oh, no.

And once we're all done shooting this last season,

we close.

No!

However,

there is some very good news.

I have managed to secure us a slot for a new kind of program.

What program, though?

I don't know because you will find us one.

But we won't be alone.

Everyone meet out talented new creative director,

Davide Sardi.

- Davide, welcome. - Good morning.

He will be the one evaluating your commitment,

your skills.

And it will be with his help that I'll choose the best course of action

for the future of Dora TV.

Alright. Off to work!

Hired or fired?

Here you are.

The main character of Dora TV's latest show.

Ten years of experience.

A degree in Media & Communication.

A film school graduate.

And all this for what?

Watch out for germs.

Sorry?

I'm just saying.

Public restrooms aren't really the best place to be seeking comfort.

Um, well...

Compared to my last 24 hours,

germs seem like a pretty appealing alternative.

Your day that shitty?

Um...

Shitty isn't the half of it.

You are a Libra.

Right?

Nailed it.

Yep, Libra it is.

How did you guess?

Intuition.

Plus, lots of studying.

However,

I don't believe in all those things.

To me, astrology is bullshit.

Not for those who understand it.

Well,

in that case,

they're saying this year my sign

is the luckiest in all the zodiac.

And yet, I'm here totally heartbroken instead.

And I could be out of work too.

I'd love a convo with the inventor of astrology.

Because, while everybody's out living their best life, I'm here.

Hello. Tio.

Tio?

It's my stage name. Abbreviation for Tiziano.

Among other things, I'm an actor filming right here at the studio.

- You? - Um...

Alice Bassi.

I'm assistant to the producer at Dora TV, right next door.

Well, Alice Bassi...

You know, most people won't believe in astrology but will...

...still read their horoscope.

Like you, it seems.

Hold on.

The stars never tell you that you shouldn't use the ladies' bathroom?

Those old distinctions, Alice?

It's just that the world is more fluid like this.

And anyways,

you're in the men's restroom, silly.

Hey! There you are.

Were you in the men's room?

Of course not! Don't be ridiculous.

Anyway...

Davide Sardi.

Who the hell is this guy?

Hey, listen. Uh...

What did that text mean? The one that you sent to Cristina?

How's that, Carlo?

Well, I don't know. She's paranoid now. Uh...

Well, don't worry. We're gonna have brunch,

so you two can talk.

A brunch?

- Us three? - Alice?

Alice, excuse me.

Will you be much longer?

Sorry, it's just...

We have a brunch together to talk about our work.

You understand.

- Mm. - Yes, of course.

- Catch you later. Goodbye. - Another time.

CONGRATULATIONS, I'M PISSED

I can't get anything right!

Yeah, obviously. You're a Libra.

Hold on. I told Cristina I'm pissed about her marriage,

and you're saying the stars are to blame?

Listen. So...

All you wrote was "I'm pissed." Hm?

That could mean all kinds of stuff.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

For example,

"Pissed that I missed the big moment."

Not to mention,

at the moment, the stars don't have a favorable disposition

towards Libras.

Saturn's in retrograde the entire month,

the Sun just entered Aries a couple days ago,

and all Libras are getting into tricky situations,

tricky in the sense of both emotionally, because of Venus,

and professionally as well.

- Meaning I'm not getting it right. - Come on!

It's a little... Little phase, okay?

Yeah, but what you call "a phase,"

I call "the worst two years of my life."

That's because of Saturn's return.

Saturn is the planet of absolute difficulty,

of discipline, of conflict.

But the good news is that it's now moved onto Scorpio.

And because it a slow planet,

its orbit isn't going to be in Libra for like...

thirty years.

Wish it had moved into Aquarius.

Was the Aquarius that guy from earlier who was cornering you into brunch?

Yeah.

Carlo.

He's my ex.

Well...

So, Aquarius is the sign of liberty and spontaneity.

It's a bit difficult to get them to grow roots. Hm?

You...

would prefer a Leo. Mm?

Dominant,

but able to protect and care for his partner.

Or maybe an adventurous Sagittarius?

- A Scorpio? - No. Mm-mm.

Don't want a Scorpio, alright?

'Cause he has Saturn in opposition. He can manage that alone.

We could talk about Scorpio another year,

when that hot potato gets passed to another sign.

- Where are you going? - It's late, I gotta go.

- Ah... Okay. You don't want that? - Put it on my tab.

Let me get this straight.

I'm telling you that I might lose my job, that I won't be able to pay my rent,

and you tell me I don't have my bedroom any longer?

Honey, your papa and I were not aware.

Alright, Mom, but now you are. So?

It's too late now, 'cause we removed the furniture

and the things from your room,

and it's the ideal size for my painting and sculpture studio.

And, at the absolute worst case, there's the guest room.

Unbelievable.

Hey, listen. Are you going to come get this stuff soon?

Because papa has packed it away for you already.

All my stuff too?

Oh, but the news with Carlo I just heard... He's expecting a baby and getting married.

How fantastic!

How did you hear that?

He called me earlier.

I'm not sure why, but he was worried about my health.

Anyway, he's a sweetheart. He's always been a sweetheart.

Sorry, Mom, you're breaking up. I'm gonna go, okay?

- Alice? - Bye.

At the end of days like today,

just two things can save you from ending it all:

plenty of spritz

and Paola to drink it with.

Anywho, somewhere I read

that Scorpios in bed are totally incredible.

Yes, but this guy Tio...

Do we really gotta talk about a guy who calls himself Tio?

Forget the name.

So, the thing is, he says that Carlo,

as a total Aquarius,

is tipically dispersive in his relationships, you know?

But Cristina's having his child. And Carlo is marrying her.

And here we are, gossiping about astrology.

But the past is the past. It's over.

Suits me.

Then tell me, how do you plan on dealing with this new work situation?

It could be a great opportunity. You know that, right?

Because you've not looked into the hangman's eager eyes yet.

No, for real, Alice. You've been working at this job for years.

You can do it with your eyes shut

and you're worth more than what Enrico is giving you.

Nevertheless, everything I know I owe to Enrico.

Sure, fine. All I'm saying is, you're a grown girl.

It's time to ditch the nest and fly.

And also this thing with Carlo...

- I said that's enough about that. - Alice.

You've used this excuse of a friendship for two years.

To avoid turning the page.

Well, I...

And now it's your time to take flight, girl!

Time to get fabulous and fierce!

Alice, let the world know who you really are.

♪ All my girls gonna sing it loud We go na na na na na na na ♪

♪ There's no one that could stop us now We go na na na na na na na ♪

♪ Get a little crazy wildcat ♪

♪ Don't you know There's nothing wrong with that? ♪

♪ All my girls gonna sing it loud We go na na na... ♪

Hey! Hi!

- How's it going, Paola? - Fine, and you?

Fine, fine.

Hi, I'm Luca.

Hi, Alice!

He works with me at the newspaper. Luca is a colleague!

Yes, a colleague who is really surprised

to see miss mamma bird finally out partying a little.

I'm glad.

I'm the one leading her astray.

You've done well. Bravo!

We shouldn't ever neglect our friends.

I did everything for my girlfriend.

Damn it. Whatever.

And then, finally, bam! She decided to leave me. Why?

Because she needed some space. Whatever.

- Oh, yeah! - Reminds me of a girl I know.

So now I'm reconnecting with some friends I lost along the way.

Over there.

What else can I say? It was a pleasure meeting you.

I'd like to see you again soon.

Bye.

- Bye, Paola. - Ciao!

Oh, he is cute!

Yes, but...

Do we know his sign yet?

Morning, my skeptical little Libra! Here's your horoscope of the day.

You're energetic and gutsy,

but you'll be put to the test by possible clashes

with people who...

It's dangerous to get distracted while driving.

Um... Yes.

Good morning.

You have a really nice voice, Miss Bassi.

Perhaps it's your new career calling you.

I hope you're joking.

What do you mean, the studio isn't ready? Where's Alice?

- I'm here! - Where were you?

It seems as if no one knows that we have two episodes to shoot

and now we're running 45 minutes late!

Enrico, you never mentioned two episodes.

Of course I did! Tomorrow, Marlin is in Rome!

Okay, give me five minutes.

Follow me.

Let's go.

- Good morning! - Good morning, love.

- Good morning, dearest. - Morning.

- Morning! - Hello. Morning.

- Morning. - Well...

Everybody here's panicking. Just letting you know.

I know, Carlo. Enrico didn't tell me we're filming the two episodes...

- Excuse me? - Yes?

- May I have some coffee? - Sure. On my way.

Thanks.

Can I get some water? There's something wrong with the machine.

Yeah, just a second. Ah, Sergio.

Let's shake some sense in this machine.

- Thanks. - One, two, three...

- Alice? - Yes.

Come on, now.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

WAKE UP, TORINO

Wake up, Torino!

Good morning, friends, and welcome to Wake Up, Torino!

A big kiss from your Marlin.

- Slide to camera one. - Mm-hmm.

Exactly.

I introduce you to our first guest of today.

There he is, I can feel him moving!

It's our own Paulo!

Paulo?

That's "Paùlo"?

"Paolo."

What's this guy's name? Sorry. Isn't it Paolo?

Paolo.

Exactly.

This Paolo, believe it or not,

he has now become internationally famous, or...

Am I correct? Internationally? Would you agree?

Because he's the biggest and most important

collector of LPs on planet Earth!

Can you cut to Marlin's close-up one sec?

- Good. Stay on them. - Remember LPs?

Those incredible circular objects

that spin around and just crackle on top of the gramophone?

"Gramophone"? What is she saying?

- Well... - Why? Oh, no!

Stop!

Did they say "stop"?

- Because they stopped. - Stop rolling?

Sorry, but why did you stop rolling?

And then we ask ourselves why the network is shutting us down.

Because you're ignorant, that's why!

While we're at it, I'll touch up your make-up.

Touch-up, yeah. No circles, okay?

A little, a little.

I gotta go and give her a piece of my mind.

- What? - Calm down.

What's gotten into you, Enrico?

Please...

Okay. Give me one minute. I'll sort it all out.

- Well done. Okay. - Coming.

Your mike, Claretti. You leaned in a bit too much.

Hi!

- There you are, sweetie. This is Alice. - My dearest Marlin.

- Hi, darling. - This blouse is great.

- I said, "Well, blue..." - Nice! Listen...

Um, the line with the gramophones...

Brilliant, no? It sprang into my mind the other day.

Then I said, "the gramophone..."

- Yes, it's a really great image. - Yeah?

But unfortunately, LPs actually were never for gramophones.

They weren't?

No.

- Are you certain? - Mm-hmm.

That's weird.

From the top, okay?

- Yeah, sure. - Let's go.

- Good. - Remember to always start with camera two.

- I'll cut the gramophone? - Yes, please. Are you comfortable?

Evidently.

Let's keep rolling!

Okay.

- You're ready, Claretti? - Mm-hmm.

Wake up, Torino!

Not halfway done with the day yet.

Okay.

Ah. Don't worry, Carlo. I've sorted it all out.

Well done.

Thank you.

Morning, my skeptical little Libra!

Here's your horoscope of the day.

You're energetic and gutsy,

but you'll be put to the test by possible clashes

with people who have different ideas then you.

In matters of the heart:

beware.

There's the possibility of a super tempestuous romance today.

Kisses! Tio.

- Hello? - Tio?

- Hi. - Hi! Where are you?

In my dressing room.

Can I speak to you a sec?

Hola, guapisima.

I am Marcus

Alvarez de la Rosa,

cousin to Fernando Prandi,

also an ex of his girlfriend,

with whom I once was in a love

explosion.

How'd you get the scar?

Oh, gee. The scar...

Olé!

Muchas gracias.

Give me five minutes.

I'll take this fluffy poodle to the groomer's. Join you downstairs.

It's unbelievable, Tio.

You guessed almost every detail of my whole day.

Like, there was...

You guessed the mood,

and the tensions at work...

and you've worked this out from the position of the planets?

That's astrology.

Oh God.

Oh, excuse me.

Oh God.

Phew!

Why "almost"?

- What did I miss? - Well...

The super tempestuous romance, you know?

Not even a hint of this romance.

I mean... Okay, some patience.

Day's not over quite yet.

Hi, it's Luca. Paola's friend.

We met last night.

Um, I was wondering if you'd like to grab a drink with me one evening.

Mm!

- How did you know everything? - Mm-hmm!

Madame, at your service.

What sign is this tempestuous little romance?

Aries.

I believe it's Aries.

Aries.

So simple, so masculine.

A man that can always admire certain events,

like, for example,

the discovery of fire

or the invention of the wheel.

But, genetically speaking,

bad at getting all the little nuances, like...

say, basic hygiene or gallantry.

He thumps on his chest when someone threatens something

he believes is his territory.

Meaning, basically, Tarzan

certainly was a perfect Aries.

So, if you'd rather not date

a man who forages for berries or swings from a three,

or you don't wanna walk him three times a day so that he can do his business,

then it is best to move on.

In your opinion, is a super tempestuous romance possible

between an Aries man

and a little Libra woman?

Let's talk about it, okay?

So,

first of all,

you gotta tell me if you, like...

Um, do you know the Australopithecus vulgaris?

The first metamorphosis of human beings, you know?

The first stage...

That's it, because with Aries...
