If you want to discover an all-Italian true story: “Mrs Playmen”
If you want to delve into 1970s Rome and discover the story of Adelina Tattilo, the woman behind the erotic magazine “Playmen”, the Italian answer to “Playboy”, then “Mrs Playmen”, starring Carolina Crescentini, is the series for you.
Adelina Tattilo is a pioneering entrepreneur in an era when women were relegated to the role of mothers and housewives; a devout Catholic, but also a bold nonconformist, at the forefront of battles for divorce, the right to abortion and women’s emancipation.
When her husband, Saro Balsamo, abandons her, leaving her alone to face her creditors as the sole owner of an empire on the verge of collapse, Adelina doesn’t give up. He reinvents Playmen, transforming it into a sophisticated and cutting-edge publication and, challenging the ingrained machismo of the time, brings together a team of brilliant intellectuals, daring creatives and visionary photographers.
Together, they break down taboos, provoke the establishment and ignite a cultural revolution, issue after issue, scandal after scandal.
