A NETFLIX SERIES
Listen.
Could I be
a Scorpio rising?
Do you think that that could be right?
It doesn't really work like that, though.
Yeah?
Yeah.
No?
I never had the chance
To lose myself and dance ♪
To live it up, to live it up ♪
GEMINI
- Alice?
- Yes?
What do you think? Could this work?
Um Uh, let me see if there are others.
How does this
- Hi. Have you seen Enrico?
- No.
He's not in his office.
Since you're here Your rising sign
when it's not daylight savings.
How should I calculate it?
- Huh?
- Do you have to subtract an hour, or not?
Uh, beats me how it's done.
How is that possible?
You've created a show all about astrology!
Then go ask Tio.
You've got another dress for her, right?
I'm Capricorn, Taurus rising.
You know you can count on me.
Take it easy.
We live it up, we live it up ♪
I'm a new girl, I'm a new girl ♪
Permiso.
Gracias.
Mara, have you seen Enrico?
No.
Alice?
Oh.
So?
- How's it going?
- It's all under control.
The set's all ready.
Marlin's make-up is getting done,
Tio is with the contestants.
I gotta do one thing
and check with Carlo in the control room.
And Enrico? Is he helping?
Of course.
So where is he?
He's around.
Because my name is on the line for this
with Bodrato.
If anything goes wrong
It's gonna be a hit.
Exactly what I expect, Miss Bassi.

I'm a new ♪
I know what you want, girl ♪

Starting positions.
Then I want a sound check.
And then, opening and closing jingles.
Here I am.
- Sergio?
- Yeah, Carlo.
Do me a favor and check that all
the entrances and exits are clear?
Sure. Is there a problem?
Imagine someone nearly killing themselves
while moving through a big sea
of contestants.
I thought I was tense Jeez.
I checked the entrances.
Breathe.
It will all be okay.
Follow me.
Okay.
- Know why it's not gonna be okay?
- Why?
Because there are a million things
to clarify still in the show.
I know.
It's a pilot episode.
- That's normal
- No.
It's not normal. It's not.
Because if you had bothered at all
to involve me in this
while you where there with Sardi
playing the creator,
then maybe we'd
we'd stand a better chance.
But since I'm only on the radar when
and only when it helps you,
I'm left here cleaning up
after the giant mess
- of your ridiculous ideas.
- Actually I
Listen.
Just check that your contestants
know what they have to say.
And never come into my control room.
Boo!
Hey.
Opening butterflies?
No. Um, well Not really.
Carlo.
He always finds a way
to make me feel inadequate.
Look at me.
Forget Carlo. Okay?
He's just nervous
like everyone else is. Hmm?
Mm-hmm.
- You break a leg.
- You too.
Fuck! Enrico.
- What are you doing up here?
- Shh.
Just a warning.
If you wake him, I will kill myself.
What's Riccardino doing here?
You can't be serious, Enrico.
Don't have a choice.
What about staying with Elvira?
Elvira isn't home.
So then where is Elvira?
No idea.
She said she needed some space.
PRODUCTION DIRECTOR
Where are you?
Elvira, you can't come upstairs,
you hear me? I'll come down.
Riccardo is sleeping. He's staying here.
No, wait for me downstairs.
You want space?
Downstairs has plenty, and it's all free.
Bye.
Listen, you keep an eye on Riccardo.
I need to talk to Elvira.
No, Enrico. We're filming. I can't at all.
- You have to be in the control room.
- Shit.
Look, Sardi has noticed, and it
There you go.
Where's my
There it is.
We didn't sleep last night.
I don't think he's gonna wake up.
- But
- She must stay outside.
Please?
Fine. Quickly.
Thanks.
Okay, all set.
Everybody ready?
Olmo, careful, remember?
Five, four, three, two, one.
Jingle.
Camera one.
Stars of love, stars of love ♪

Shakespeare said, "It is the stars."

episode of Stars of Love.
The premiere of the only game show
that relies on the stars
to give every contestant
the most precious gift there is.
L'amore.
Ready with camera 2 on Tio
and camera 3 on the suitors.
More light on the suitors.
Who set the lights up there?
- Turn them up.
- No, Carlo. I asked for it like that.
Can't you see it's too mysterious?
That's the way I've got it.
Okay, let's move on.
"One lonely heart"
One lonely heart
will be choosing between 12 suitors,
one from each sign of the Zodiac.
What is that?
- What's that background noise?
- You don't hear anything from in here.
What noise?
Daddy?
What?
Uh Okay, all good.
Let's keep rolling.
They will get help
from a true astrological expert
who will guide their choices.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Tio!
Did you say something?
Daddy?
Stop the whispering. What's happening?
- Daddy, where are you?
- Christ!
Alice, what's going on?
Okay, I'm sorry.
Stop filming.
I need a little time. Twenty minutes.
I'm sorry.
Stop.
Enrico, where are you?
Listen, Riccardino woke up.
Call me!
Daddy? Where's Daddy?
He's on his way.
Sweetheart.
You woke up?
Since we're on a break,
can we please try it
with more light on the suitors?
Carlo, don't touch my lights. I hear you.
Where are you?
Olmo, pass me the headphones, please.
Alice, it's Davide.
Is everything okay?
- Yes, everything fine.
- What's going on?
It's, well
Lady things.
Just a few minutes is all I need.
- Thanks.
- So?
Why have we stopped?
Personal
- business.
- Ah.
You stay here, like a good boy,
and do a nice drawing for Daddy.
What do you want to do?
Poo.
Fudge. Where is she?
I finished.
Can you help me?
You never learned to?
Enrico, I'm gonna kill you.
So now you'll watch a nice,
pretty film.
- And
- Mara?
Mara? Get ready to open up.
Almost there, Carlo.
Take your time. We already started again.
What do you mean?
Well, my dear Marlin,
the rules are simple.
Our contestant will enter
and immediately observe
all of our gorgeous suitors.
You could have waited 15 minutes!
First impressions
are really important, but then
Alice, I'm sorry.
Let's just keep it going.
So I'll guide her through
all the aspects
of each sign in the Zodiac.
We'll then find out
whether her first impressions
are confirmed or rather questioned
by the stars.
Well said, Tio. Well said.
And now, it's time to present
our contestant.
Her name is Simona, and she is 30.
Native of Ivrea, she's a
Sagittarius!
Put your hands together for Simona!
Close up on her, Sergio. Do not forget.
- Welcome, Simona.
- Welcome.
- Welcome.
- Beautiful.
Put your hands together
for our two ladies in the studio.
Simona.
You know, dear Marlin,
Simona is a Sagittarius,
rising Gemini,
and I have already prepared
for Simona her own
- Have you?
- Sergio, wider.
birth chart.
Super ready, huh?
Right, yeah. So, at this point, Simona,
what exactly are you seeking
in your partner?
A man who's, uh, faithful
Ah, faithful
who is charming.
Charming?
Well, we have plenty of charm here.
Compliments to the guys.
Now, I would like to walk you through
their zodiacal characteristics.
So, Marlin, if it's okay with you,
I'll steal our guest for a sec
and I'll start getting to know
the Capricorn.
Let's go.
Applause for our Capricorn,
whose real name is Stefano.
Stefano.
So, the Capricorn is generally a
This can't be happening.
Everything okay, Alice?
- And, as you can see, Simona
- Nothing. It's all good.
Keep going.
We're okay. You're perfect.
Let's watch the video.
Go to camera one.
- These are the video inserts.
- Camera three.
Well done. Nice.
Stefano, 32 years old. Capricorn.
My start sign is an odd one.
Half goat, half sea creature.
Some might say
- I'm neither fish nor fowl.
- Riccardino!
But I like to say I'm both.
Basically, a paella.
Let's applaud Stefano
and his sense of humor.
- What's your nombre?
- Riccardino.
Riccardino? Come here, Riccardino.
Your name is muy lindo.
Todo bien?
Uh
Yes, thank you.
Thanks so much.
Is he yours?
No.
You saved me there, however.
Come on.
Stefano, I think that we can create
something magical between the two of you.
- Adiós.
- Adiós.
Now go back to work.
Or I'll have to fire you.
Off you go! Go!
Go, go, go.
Slowly move to camera 2.
Master of courtship and a vigorous lover.
A predator of reluctant prey.
The profile videos do work really well.
Brilliant idea.
described my sign, Aries.
I'm Francesco, I'm 27 years old.
Sometimes I think I was born
on the wrong day.
- How do you think she's doing?
- No, Alice is doing well.
- It makes you wanna join in, right?
- Yes.
I'll give you something
from the snack machine, okay?
Alice.
Oh, fuck!
Who does this kid belong to?
Hi.
Um
Uh, I can't explain right now.
It's better if you did, Alice.
Come with me.
It was unexpected, you know?
There was no time to think.
Anyway, it's all my fault.
I just wanted to help Enrico out.
After all of that
- You should have told me.
- I know.
He'd be in trouble if I did, however.
I could
Come on, we wasted enough time already.
Get back to the studio.
I'll look after him.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
So
You little rascal.
Scoot over.
Thank you.
I miss mama and papa.
I know.
I get it.
They're not here, but we need to learn
to not think about it. Do you understand?
How do we do that?
Well, it's different for me.
I'm grown.
And don't grown-ups miss too?
Yes, we miss too.
But we're better at pretending we don't.
Put this on.
Perfect. Now you're a pirate!
And we're in the middle of the sea
in a storm.
And waves are huge.
There's wind, lightning, thunder.
And our mission is to find Mommy
and Daddy and bring them back home.
Yes!
Dear Simona,
the choice is now yours.
Our Tio has guided you
for most of the show,
but your destiny is now
solely in your hands.
Which of these men will get lucky tonight?
The lovable Cancer?
CANCER
Or confident Capricorn?
CAPRICORN
Or the marvelous Pisces?
Romantic Pisces?
PISCES
Simona, just 30 seconds
to make a decision.
Well, it's almost over.
Hard to believe we pulled it off.
Let's do it.
I appreciate the positive perspective.
PISCES
CAPRICORN
Time is all up!
Simona,
are you ready to tell us
which Zodiac sign
you feel the most compatible with?
- Yes.
- Not to me, to the camera.
Yes.
The chosen one is
Darling, you were marvelous!
- You were great.
- You too, really.
Brilliant idea.
Well done, my love. Well done.
- I knew it.
- Thanks.
- Bravo!
- Let's celebrate!
Yay!
Alice?
Alice?
Where's Riccardo? He's not in my office.
He's with Sardi.
With Sardi? Why?
Sardi found out that
Enrico, I called you over and over again.
Yeah, I know.
It's crazy. We'll talk later.
- To Alice! Yes, Alice.
- Alice!
To Alice!
- Where is Alice?
- Alice?
Ready?
- Alice Bassi!
- Stop it!
So embarrassing!
Well done, you were great.
Alice Bassi
how are you planing on rejoicing
tonight's success?
Don't know.
My last triumph, let's see,
was third place
in a swimming competition when
- I was 12, I think.
- Ah!
Well, he would be a nice way to celebrate.
His name Alejandro, he's Argentinian,
and he's a Gemini.
Let's be honest.
Geminis
have made a lot of psychotherapists rich.
Geminis are hosting a lot of personalities
within themselves.
They could easily form their very own
debate clubs,
and impossibly drawn to chaos.
Gemini's can't bear
having merely just the one idea
or just one opinion.
And, in truth,
can't be contented with one lover.
What they say today
isn't necessarily consistent
with what they'll do tomorrow.
So,
if a Gemini remembers
to take you to the cinema
two days after they've invited you
it signifies that, for them,
it's very serious.
A Gemini? How's it possible for you
to spot a Gemini?
- Don't tell me that you
- No, come on! Never in my life.
Geminis For me, Geminis are toxic.
For you as well, to be honest. But
One night of Latin passion is okay.
Never forget what true passion is.
I remember, kinda.
I thought I was the only one
who didn't feel like going home.
I'm sorry I ruined your moment.
Hmm. You are forgiven.
I also wanted to thank you
for stepping in with Riccardino.
Water under the bridge.
- Never again, huh?
- Never again.
Bodrato was ecstatic.
You've really done wonderfully.
Wait. One more thing.
I heard how you spoke to Riccardino.
It was
moving.
See you tomorrow.
Hola.
Hi.
I thought you might like
to have a drink with me
to celebrate.
- A wonderful thought.
- Right?
I promised someone
I would stop drinking for a while.
That's a terrible thing.
After all, you do deserve a reward.
Ooh.
You want it?
You got it.
You make me so horny.

Everything okay, chiquitita?
Sure.
Maybe not a reward,
but a certificate for participation.
GOOD MORNING, CHIQUITITA.
I HOPE WITH ALL MY HEAR
YOU'D LIKE TO SEE ME AGAIN.
Paola, remember Banderas?
Remember the early days?
The films of Almodóvar?
Before Melanie Griffith
got her mitts on Antonio?
Did you see the photo I sent you?
He snuck out early
just to make me that breakfast.
I'll update you on the show first,
then Alejandro.
Hmm, there's something in the air today.
It's a long time since I was this eager
to go to work.
I'll call back soon, okay.
Kisses!
Look, it'll be fine.
- I can't believe it.
- Don't worry.
Good morning!
So chipper!
Whose cat died?
Enrico got fired.
It appears he wasn't that useful
now that a new star is here.
