PlayerZ arrives
Marco (17) and Ludovico (21) are neighbors. They couldn't be more different yet they find common ground in video games, their true passion. They then decide to set up a gaming room in the attic of Marco's parents, with the aim of opening a Twitch channel and becoming professional streamers. The social debut is continually postponed, waiting for the perfect day, which nevertheless seems to never arrive ... All the events presented take place while ours play video games. Gaming is the hub around which their lives revolve. While they play, our protagonists talk, eat, 'study', interact with other people, reflect on the macro themes of life (in their own way), insult each other, argue, confide in each other. Everything starts from the game, and everything always comes back there, to the game.The authors, Matteo Branciamore and Giorgio Croce Nanni, tell it this way: "Playerz is a sitcom that tells the lightness of an age in which adult reality is still far away and the world in which one lives is a bubble, a sort of bunker (in this sense the "den" of the two boys is much more than a metaphor) muffled where it is permissible to dream, have fun, and take refuge from tasks and duties. This is why we never wanted to represent anything outside that world, taking advantage of the eye's point of view of the console room, from where apprehensive mothers are just distant voices and where responsibilities and duties are obstacles to overcome. to get only the victory in the next level of the most successful video game of the moment. Or to hope to become an online celebrity with millions of followers. All seasoned with laughter and situations bordering on insane, because there is nothing crazier than reality seen through the eyes of a Generation Z boy ".
