Plot Synopsis

Based on Elena Ferrante's book of the same name, THE LYING LIFE OF ADULTS is a six-episode drama series that is a portrait of Giovanna's transition from childhood to adolescence in Naples in the 1990s. The search for a new face, after the happy one of childhood, oscillates between two consanguineous Naples which, however, fear and hate each other: the Naples above, which has given itself a fine mask, and the one below, which pretends to be excessive, trivial. Giovanna oscillates between high and low, now tumbling, now climbing, bewildered by the fact that, up or down, the city seems without answer and without escape. All six episodes of THE LYING LIFE OF ADULTS dropped on Wednesday, January 4, 2023 on Netflix.
