The life you wanted: The plot and the rest of the cast
Directed by Cotroneo and produced by Banijay Studios Italy, The life you wanted in 6 episodes it tells a story of bonds, friendship and discovery, of the happiness we believe we want (planned, orderly, simple) but also of the one that surprises us, that messes up life. This is what happens to Gloria (Schisano) and then resonates in all the characters in the story. She is convinced that she has found happiness in Lecce, where she founded a small tourist agency and found love with Ernesto. But, one day, her life is turned upside down by the arrival of Marina (turkish, The lying life of adults), her friend at the time of university in Naples, before Gloria began her transition path.
Marina takes Andrea with her (Nicola Bello) and Arianna, the children from two different relationships, and is pregnant with a third, whose father is Pietro (alessio pencil, But Tataranni), a young man with a passionate and perhaps even dangerous character. Gloria would prefer not to renew relations with Marina; she reminds her of a part of her life that she would like to forget. However, Marina hides many secrets and soon Sergio will also arrive on stage (Joseph Zeno, Mina September), Arianna’s father, a man in one piece from the very beginning very distrustful of Gloria. The time has come for her to come to terms with “the life she wanted”, her past and her future, to discover that happiness sometimes comes in unexpected forms and that love is the only force capable of making life worth living.
