Compulsive Liar

In this episode Emmanuel really hits rock bottom, from various points of view.

Lying, lying and more lying: this seems to have become second nature to him. He is unable to cope with the simple evidence that he has become totally dependent on Michelle and the drugs she supplies him with. He really couldn't go any lower than that.

The narrative voice is that of Emmanuel himself (AI Steffan Emmanuel); Michelle is played by Frieda (AI).

During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Winterfell" and "Candyman" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the kind permission; "Guarda che luna" by Fred Buscaglione; "In My Garden" by Swans.

Accidents On The Road

The interpreters are Steffan Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).

During the episode you can listen to the following songs: "Galaxy" and "Forbidden Chamber" by Static Bandz, whom we thank for the permission; "Inhuman" by Sonic Youth; "Old Age" (bootleg) by Kurt Cobain.

Michelle K.

Emmanuel lets himself be completely overwhelmed by the perverse and anomalous relationship with Michelle K., without realizing that he is getting into quite serious trouble. Even colliding with the evidence of a "cursed" picture, he does not seem able to intuit the negativity of the environment to which the woman belongs.

The Perfect Metaphor

What was Emmanuel hiding in the previous episode?

His relationship with Michelle, known as Gerti. A new character, already briefly glimpsed in episode 2.3. "Moon in Hell", where she appeared as a dancer: a woman as fascinating as she is dangerous, who attracts Emmanuel into her network of seduction, drugs and occult interests, typical of esoteric Turin.

A period of delirium of the senses with tragic and disturbing implications begins for the boy.

The Interpreters are Vincent-Paul Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).

During the episode you can hear parts of the following songs: "Brother James" and "Junkie's Promise" by Sonic Youth, "Hey" (instrumental version) and "Into the White" by the Pixies, "Sacrifice" by Jocelyn Pook.
