Zerocalcare returns with “Due Spicci” (27 May)
After the successes of “Tear along the edges” and “This world won’t make me bad”, the Italian cartoonist Michele Rech, aka Zerocalcare, returns to Netflix with a new animated series: “Due Spicci”.
Zero and Cinghiale run a small place, but economic problems, misunderstandings and personal lives that become more complicated than necessary put them both under pressure. The return of a figure from Zero’s past and unexpected responsibilities precipitate an already fragile situation, forcing everyone to face difficult choices.
Always next to Zero is the unfailing presence of his conscience, the Armadillo to whom Valerio Mastandrea returns to lend his unmistakable voice.
