One love: the series with Stefano Accorsi and Micaela Ramazzotti is a caress for romantics

A love has something in common with Before sunrise, the wonderful film by Richard Linklater which in 1995 started a successful trilogy based on two boys who meet by chance on a train and start a crazy and unexpected love story. Even in the Sky Studios and Cattleya series with protagonists Stefano Accorsi And Micaela Ramazzotti a train is involved and two very young boys are involved who, waiting to find their place in the world, dedicate themselves to an interrail without yet knowing each other. It's 1997, I'm in the same carriage but at a certain point, due to a misunderstanding, Alessandro and Anna get off at the station of a small village in the Spanish hinterland while the train with their luggage and their friends moves away behind them. They don't know each other, they don't know how much they can trust each other, but they know that unity is strength and that it is better to stay together to keep each other company and support each other. From that fortuitous meeting something between the two boys became close to the point that, at the end of that adventure, they decided to stay in contact but just writing to each other first the postcards and then the emails, promising to never see each other again so as not to ruin the memory that binds them.

A lovecreated by Stefano Accorsi himself and Enrico Audenino and directed by Francesco Lagistarts from here: from the somewhat platonic relationship between two kindred souls who, despite not seeing each other, feel they want to share the goals and successes of their lives with each other. As the years pass and that trip to Spain becomes more and more distant, things change between Alessandro and Anna. He, a successful man and globetrotter for his work as an architect, is returning to Bologna because his mother, played by a great Ottavia Piccolois not very well – yes, by chance the two were originally from the same city – while she, married and with a now grown-up son, is starting to feel crushed by a routine that is increasingly restrictive for her. It is at that point that the two decide to break the pact and see each other again after all those years, discovering that one look is enough to rekindle in a flash everything they have shared and have never forgotten.

In this sense A love it's a beautiful journey that, a bit like Serendipitymakes us understand that when fate gets in the way there is very little you can do given that both Anna and Alessandro feel a bond towards each other that unfortunately life has not allowed them to cultivate. The result is a series that is a bit like a caress soft and delicate towards those who are looking for love but also towards those who have already found love. Excellent synergy on the scene between Stefano Accorsi and Micaela Ramazzotti, not to mention the young and promising ones Beatrice Fiorentini and Luca Santoro who play Anna and Alessandro as young people and a very rich cast that goes from Alessandro Tedeschi to Ivan Zerbinati, passing through Andrea Roncato and Camille Dugay. The most striking thing about A love is that, despite often risking the molasses effect, it also manages to contain within itself the disappointment and bitterness of when things don't go as we hoped, and for this we cannot help but thank the screenwriters Enrico Audenino, Giordana Mari, Teresa Gelli, the director Francesco Lagi and Accorsi himself. From 16 February it is exclusively on Sky and streaming on NOW: give it a chance.
