Another Italian mini-series, this time a drama, "What will remain" (on the movie sites "Things that remain" / Le cose che restano, 2010, directed by Gianluca Maria Tavarelli, many of whose series I watched and liked them, some of them I wrote here too. The characters of the series are representatives of a wealthy middle-class family, Pietro (Ennio Fantasticini) is an engineer, his wife Anita (Daniela Giordano) once worked as a doctor, but after the birth of her third child left her job and took care of the house, now they have four children, almost all are adults. The eldest son Andrea (Claudio Santamaria) works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, deals with all sorts of hot spots and refugees, the daughter of Nora (Paola Cortellesi) is a practicing psychologist, the rebel son of Nino (Lorenzo Balducci) is studying to be an architect at the university, one Lorenzo (Alessandro Sperduti) is still a teenager, but already almost an adult, meets a girl. Just returning from such a meeting, he crashes on the car, after which everything in the family begins to go awry and it turns out that she is not at all as prosperous as she seemed. With the characters there are different events in which they manifest themselves, their views are clarified, and we see with what difficulty they sometimes make decisions, especially when death looms ahead, life brings them unexpectedly with people outside their circle and from another country, however, this line seems to me still somewhat idealized, but maybe they are just lucky, there are refugees and such. The same-sex love line of one of the heroes is also very restrained. By the end of the series, the relationship between the characters is a little clearer, something is straightened out, something falls apart, but this is how it happens in life. The series is not bad, the actors are also well selected and play well.
