The cross between teen drama and fantasy it is one of the distinctive contaminations of the offerings of streaming platforms for younger audiences. A trend that is also adopted by Raidue, among the generalist channels the one most suited to experimenting with stories close to this inscrutable target.
We are legend It has the characteristics of a Bildungsroman and closely tells the stories of five boys with their traumas, their problematic lives and their superpowers, an expression of the fear of growing up and a metaphor for the difficulties to overcome.
The five protagonists of “We are legend”.
Produced by Fabula Pictures, We are legend And a generational fresco, a look at the laterality and marginality of adolescence and the transition to adult life; a coming – of – age which is tinged with fantasy colors to exorcise widespread anxieties and fears.
Emanuele, Lara, Lin (second generation Chinese), Sara, Greta: they all share traumas and sudden powers that manifest themselves externally as keys to facing life. They are not superheroes, there are no unlikely challenges or enemies to defeat, but teenagers who can only find the strength to overcome every obstacle in friendship.
After the transition to free-to-air, the series will be made available on Prime Video. For those who want to look inside the “closed world” of teenagers of the new millennium.
