The eighteen year old Lele, a high school student from a family of popular origins, finds himself attending disco parties with classmates from elite backgrounds; here, to impress Serena, he convinces himself to try a pill of MDMA for end up swept up in the vortex of drugs and debt.
He thus gets involved in a drug dealing ring, which ends up hitting his friend Mirco, who died precisely because of taking drugs sold to him by Lele. It’s the beginning of a nightmare made of remorse and attempts to get back on track.

Living is not child’s play is a series aired in recent weeks on Raiuno and available on demand on RaiPlay. It is an attempt by the public service to ride and replicate the wave of success of Sea Outbut with more sweetened tones and with the classic “balancing” mechanism given by the strong presence of adults in the figures of Lele’s parents and his friends.
The result is a product halfway between the teen size (which in its most recent versions does not skimp on the explicit) and the family dimension, which therefore risks appearing necessarily reassuringbut also less realistic. The city of Bologna, youthful and student par excellence in the imagination, is the backdrop to the story.
For those who love “family” stories of conflicts and generational mending.
