Ep. 1: Chapter 1: Margherita (2023-12-21)

It seems just another ordinary day for Alfonso, a sensitive and caring married man who sells watches for a living.

More and more enthusiastic about his new life as a gigolo, Alfonso devotes himself to a new client, Adele, even if things don’t go as planned.

Ep. 4: Chapter 4: Marta (2023-12-21)

Alfonso is now riding the crest of a wave: he enjoys being a gigolo and he feels ready for whatever may come… or maybe not, as his new client, Marta, drags him into a crazy, adventurous night where nothing is as it seems. In the meantime, while Giacomo has to deal with Laura’s return, Adele’s grandson tries to get his hands on her inheritance.

Shaken by the latest events, Alfonso tries to have a last confrontation with his father, but the threats from his boss become more and more intimidating.
