Lives less ordinary
My Brilliant Friend, Monday, Sky Atlantic
Based on Elena Ferrante’s bestselling book of the same name, this lush Italian mini-series is set in Naples and follows the lives of two girls over six decades of friendship. After receiving a phone call, Elena Greco discovers the most important and significant figure in her life, Raffaella “Lila” Cerullo, has gone missing. Knowing this disappearance has been a long time coming, Elena, now a writer, finally sits down to put the story of their intertwining lives on paper, starting from the 1950s, when the two first met at school, in an attempt to describe the mystery of Lila – her brilliant friend, and in a way, worst enemy.
