The Lying Life of Adults
Created by Edoardo De Angelis
On Netflix
An intimate coming-of-age portrait of a girl discovering her identity across the divided landscapes of 1990s Naples, balancing the bittersweet recognition of family fracture with the sensory richness of place.
Young Giovanna navigates her passage from childhood into adolescence as she experiences the different sides of Naples during the 1990s. A girl in search of her true reflection in a divided Naples: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity.
