The Cesaronis — Season 1, Episode 22: Cattive influenze

Episode synopsis

Little Mimmo is in love with his classmate Sara, who plays the princess in the school play. The child, in order to be close to her, accepts the part of the maid of honor and asks Lucia for help in getting ready. Giulio, noticing the preparations for the play, misunderstands Mimmo's interest in the female universe and, believing him to be gay, tries to involve him and convert him to male activities.

About The Cesaronis

Giulio is a widower, struggling to raise three sons, Marco, Rudi, and Mimmo, as best he can. He lives in Rome's working-class Garbatella neighborhood and runs a wine shop with his two brothers. Lucia, meanwhile, comes from Milan's middle-class background; she's divorced and trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, Eva and Alice. The two meet by chance and recognize each other: they had a fling as teenagers, many years earlier. Yet first love is never forgotten, and so Giulio and Lucia find themselves together again. Their meeting, however, changes not only the lives of a man and a woman, but also those of two families as different as could be. Two families who find themselves living under the same roof without even having had the time to get to know each other well.
