My Brilliant Friend

Synopsis

The second season is a continuation of the saga about women from poor Neapolitan quarters.

L’amica geniale is a long story about the relationship between two girls, who then grew up in women, Lila and Elena.

Story begins with the fact that in 2010, Elena, being of middle-age, finds out that her friend Lila was gone. Remembering Lila, Elena returns to the poor Naples of the 50s.

The first season talked about the childhood of two friends and ended with the wedding of sixteen-year-old Lila. In the new season, we see matured girls who are immersed in a hurricane of passion, like any normal Italians. Their friendship passes through a series of passions, bringing them together or moving away from each other.
