Sul più bello – The series (Original TV series – comedy genre) – release date July 29
On the Most Beautiful – The Series is the story of Marta, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, and her best friends Jacopo and Federica. They have always been a family, supporting each other and sharing good and bad times. Now that they are grown up, they have to face new challenges: love, marriage, finding their dream job. What Marta is not prepared for, however, is the loss of Federica in a tragic accident. This casts a shadow on her life that she will be able to dispel with the help of some old friends, like Jacopo, her boyfriend Dario and Gabriele (Marta’s ex), and some new ones, like Aurora (Federica’s girlfriend) and Nicola, a charming man who participates with Marta in a support group for people with terminal illnesses.
