Uonderbois, the spoilers on the plot
Uonderbois is a series framed by the popular legends of a unique place in the world: Naples. According to the official synopsis, it is easy to be captivated by the beauties of this city, but only those who know how to see beyond appearances have access to everything magical and mysterious hidden in this place.
The Uonderbois are five twelve-year-old boys, united by the fervent imagination of those born and raised on the streets of Naples, and by the belief that Uonderboi, their myth, wanders around the city, a cross between the legendary figure of Munaciello and a modern Robin Hood. The five inseparable friends must say goodbye because La Vecchia, owner of the vessels in which they live, is about to sell their homes in exchange for a statuette of Maradona. When the statuette is stolen by their idol, Tonino Uonderboi, the new Munaciello of Naples, the Uonderbois adventure begins in search of a mysterious treasure in underground Naples. What guides them on this journey is the knowledge of the most ancient secrets of their city but also the awareness that behind every legend there is always a pinch of truth. Because it is precisely on this balance between reality and magic that the Neapolitan city has supported itself for millennia.
