We laugh and have fun with The Jackal, between rites, goliardic, surreal moments and B-series influencers panicking. When it arrives Greta, a new rigid manager, removed from the headquarters, things change. Everyone hates her, but something changes for her too: the context in which it is locatedcompletely different from what she was used to, will trigger new sensations that go beyond work.
Small Fish – An agency. Lots of ideas. Low budget: the plot
Ciro, Fabio, Fru and Aurora they are friends and colleagues who work in the small communication agency in the province of Naples. They run lame brands and tragicomic influencersas Herbert Ballerinaspecializing in videos about social in which he glides across the floor towards the camera and delivers his maxim for the day. In short, you work, but you also have fun and breathe a goliardic atmosphere among colleagues and friends. There is Marionefor example, who every day with his “mariophone” announces the snacks just added inside a kind of glass bubble, which everyone in the office can draw from.
One day he shows up at the agency Greta (Martina Tinnirello), a manager of the headquarters, accustomed to high-profile customers who was downgraded because during the presentation of an advertising campaign she slapped a Achilles Lauro (one of the funniest scenes of the first two episodes). From that moment begins his adventure among small fish: how can live without influencer with millions of followers? Greta he is not at ease at all, but as the days go by he will meet new stimuli.
The strength of The Jackal? The group
Greta is lonely, distant and grumpyalways believes she is top of the class and this does not help to create a serene atmosphere in the agency. Everyone hates her. Greta will understand that teamwork is essential, even at work. And this compactness shines through The Jackal. In fact, the series also tells of their working days and the way in which they deal with each other. «I have known this group since day zero – explains the director – elits strength lies in recognizing that they are compactdespite the lucky career of some singularities (see for example Ciro who won an edition of LOL)”.
«We talk about our daily rituals, the ability to work together», says Fabio Balsamo – we were and continue to be small fish». Then it always depends on the terms of comparison. THE The Jackal They look at each other and tell each other clearly what they think, without thinking twice. “It happens every day, it’s normal for us,” they reveal.
The guest stars of the series Small fish: from Achille Lauro to Herbert Ballerina
In Small Fish – An agency. Lots of ideas. Little budget some also appear guest stars. The first to peep is Achille Lauro, who makes fun of himself: we see him grappling with an advertisement for a mobile phone that he absolutely does not want to hold in his hand during filming. Greta Will he be able to solve the problem just before shooting the commercial?
There is also Herbert Ballerinain the guise of a B-series influencer, John Muciaccia, Gabriel Vagnatothe envoy of Long live Rai 2, Valentina Barbieri and Mario “Il Ginnasio” Terrone. This is nothing new for i The Jackal deal with some of the hottest names in the show, they have done it in the past years with Pierfrancesco Favino or Salvatore Esposito. «The series takes a certain liberty – comments Fru – it’s wrong, it’s funnytells our reality, at some point look at The Office and reflects on how important it is to pay homage to other series to create a new product».
Naples in the background
Small Fish: An agency. Lots of ideas. Little budget is filmed inside the offices of the Tree of Usbut in the background there is a Naples very different from what we are used to seeing in the series. You do not see the sea, the alleys, the iconic monuments or the Vesuvius. At the Tree of Us you eat piadina and snacks. Naples is there thanks to the language of the young protagonists, their attitudes, the way they behave with each other, the music of Gigi D’Alessio And Raiz. And there is also Naples that overlooks the world of social media.
