Blanca 2the plot of the episodes
The second season of the adventures of Blanca Ferrando – freely taken from Patrizia Rinaldi’s novels – is made up of 6 episodes, directed by Jan Maria Michelini and Michele Soavi. If in the first season we witness Blanca’s arrival at the police station as an aspiring police consultant, in the second the protagonist gets the role in all respects. He continues to work at the San Teodoro police station in Genoa, where he comes to terms with the gruff character of the boss Mauro Bacigalupo (Enzo Paci) and the charm of inspector Michele Liguori (Giuseppe Zeno).
Blanca is a young blind woman with a keen intuition for solving cases, who is never separated from her trusty Linnaeusthe guide dog who has accompanied her since she lost her sight.
Professional satisfactions aside, in the second season must face the consequences of what happened in the first. Sebastiano (Pierpaolo Spollon) tried to kill her. The cook, who introduced himself as Nanni, is actually the ex-boyfriend of her sister Beatrice, who died years earlier in the fire in which Blanca lost her sight.
At the trial, the latter reported having seen Sebastiano a moment before the flames broke out and the boy ended up in prison. Forced back to prison, he can count on Blanca’s presence. The woman is close to him and in the end she even forgives him.
Meanwhile Blanca he must extricate himself from Liguori’s reactionincreasingly protective (or jealous?), and is not at all enthusiastic about how things are evolving. During the episodes there is no lack of tension between the two, in a climax that reaches its peak in the last episode.

The new characters and the investigations into Polibomber
Meanwhile, Blanca embarks on an unexpected adventure: she takes Lucia (Sara Ciocca) into foster carethe little girl he helped in the previous season. Then there are other characters who enrich the plot. First of all, the trusted friend Stella (Federica Cacciola) returns and especially a domestic worker arrives at Blanca’s house.
Her name is Elena (Michela Cescon) and she hides more than one secret. Leone (Ugo Dighero), Blanca’s father, also plays an important role in the climate of mystery that hovers around her. In addition to the vertical narration, therefore a case for each episode, Blanca 2 introduces a real mystery that accompanies the entire season.
The San Teodoro police station becomes the target of a serial attacker who spreads panic throughout the city. The press nicknames him Polibomber (playing him by Stefano Dionisi) ed it is on him that Blanca focuses her energies. Try to protect the people next to her, but soon understands that some events cannot be controlled. And that sometimes the price to pay can be very high.
