Episode synopsis
To postpone the deadline for some very tough exams, the students of Class 3C invent a visit from an Oxford professor—actually a former student, a chronic repeater like Chicco—persuading the principal to fund a performance of Shakespeare's most famous works. Chicco plays Iago, Massimo plays Cassio, Sharon is Ophelia, and Benedetta is, of course, the occasional director. In Class 3C's unique "interpretation," however, the English playwright's works become ignoble farces, with only Bruno escaping, forced to play Othello, who on the day of the "premiere" (and final) performance achieves an unexpected personal success. But once the curtain falls, the story of the fake English professor comes to light. Tragic "reruns" are prepared for everyone.
About The Boys of 3rd C
Rome, late 1980s, Leopardi Classical High School. This is where the various protagonists of the series meet and experience the epic, hilarious exploits of their classmates in 3C, the most outgoing high school students of the entire school year. Bruno Sacchi, a shy, rather plump boy, often awkward but with a big heart. Chicco Lazzaretti, the classic, tireless repeater, obsessed with school and his classmates, always ready to answer teachers in funny ways to distract his classmates. Of course, Daniele and Rossella, typical sweethearts who have grown up together since childhood, are also present, along with the beautiful, blonde Sharon Zampetti, desired by everyone.
