The recycling of dirty money finds a perfect showcase in the Solara shop, thanks to the work of the Cerullos and the imagination of Lila, the store comes to life. However, the girl must also work in the Carracci delicatessen, another fief of the family of loan sharks. Two opposites realities, symbols of the same power that Mila tries to sabotage: she uses the money from the delicatessen to buy Elena’s books and to give gifts to those who need them most. In her shop, her will to challenge her is realized with the scarring of her beautiful wedding photo. The Genial Friend 2 premiered at the cinema
On 27, 28 and 29 January Libreriamo readers will be able to use an exclusive coupon to purchase a reduced-price ticket to the cinema . Abortion
Her desire not to bow to the rules imposed by her masters, her husband and the Solara, is also realized with the loss of the child she was expecting. Abortion is almost a moment of joy, a real liberation since she will not be the one to give satisfaction to her husband or to do what people expect from a marriage that never made sense to exist. Angelica and Lila
Lila is free to do and undo, she commands, decides and no one contradicts her and it is Elena to understand who she is, after all. And she says it openly even if only during a question in class when to create a parallel between Lila and Angelica of the Orlando Furioso, the sensual and irresistible woman who feeds love and pain in all men. But we are sure that Lila is all of thisWhen you went to school in a suit and tie
School is Elena’s real safe place, and the only place where she can excel and feel truly satisfied with herself. She is recognized and seen for what she is also her teacher, Galiani, who esteems her and encourages her to do better and better, perhaps because she senses the discomfort from which she comes from her, to want to save her from the limbo in which she has always lived. A world made of violence and characters who have built their fortune on people’s misfortunes, on the black purse and on the usurers Black purse and usurers
The wealth of the Solara with which it seems that they can buy everything and everyone and make each one a pawn on their chessboard, is based only on the black market and on their activity as usurers, for which Lila’s marriage is only a scam, a deception. , a scam from which he tries to get out by trying to do something and do it in the best possible way and this starting from the party at the home of prof. The party at the home of the teacher
The party at the home of the teacher is the umpteenth test that her friends undergo, a battlefield for Lila on which she can pull up and aim for her friend’s heart and hope to hit the target for repay her for all that she has everything, does not have and for the violence of her husband of which she is a victim. Long friendships are important
Galiani meets Lila who is introduced to her by Elena and affirms a lapidary sentence, perhaps one of the most important: “Long friendships are important”. An epithet or an epitaph to describe a difficult, hard, fluctuating relationship that will bind and has bound women throughout their lives and which, soon, will undergo one of the biggest shocks due to Nino Sarratore. Nino Sarratore and the World Peace Brigade
Nino is the absolute protagonist of the party at Galiani’s house, handsome and gloomy, he makes everyone’s heart beat faster, even the teacher’s daughter. And he is the star of the evening with his sermons on civil commitment, the fight against war and he at the head of an elusive world brigade of peace. Meaningless speeches that underline her didactic preparation and her lack of life experience that fascinate Elena and disgust Lila so much that, upon returning, she will make fun of her friend and Sarratore, judging them parrots capable only of repeating sentences read in books and in the newspapers and who have no ideas of their own about things. Once again Lila shows herself strong and unscrupulous but she will not miss the occasion in which she too will show her fragility of her, The fragility of Lila
Pinuccia became pregnant with Rino, Lila’s brother and for this they must get married in a hurry. The dream of a marriage like that of the sister-in-law has vanished forever, the future husband certainly does not have the availability of the Carraccis. The day of the ceremony arrives and Lila is offended by a guest about her inability to give her husband a child. She runs away, goes away to the banquet and shows herself, in Elena’s eyes, in her frailty. Perhaps Lila is not the witch that everyone indicates, perhaps she can be a good friend and provide the excuse to spend the summer in Ischia where Nino will also be found. Ischia
Elena’s project to spend the summer in Ischia with Nino, find love and excel over her friend even in the sentimental field, the only one she misses, fails miserably. Lila, who has long antennae and understands everything, wants to excel over her friend even in the boy’s heart. Thus begins a battle made up of books and a quote from Beckett’s theater and here something happens that the girl had not taken into account: love. Final reflections
This second episode, apart from the narrative importance for the development of the future plot, and a disarming depth and brightness. They return luminous eyes and faces and the camera does not seem to retreat behind the protagonists, so material, real.
Music is another protagonist with the choice of songs that tell moments and moods. The performance of the actors is, as always, very high above all in outlining the complex interpersonal and social dynamics that run between us.
More than two hours of well done and structured entertainment and reflection and I, like you, can’t wait for next Monday. Clara Raimondi
