After the preview at the Rome Film Festival, the new Italian teen series “Adorazione” arrives on Netflix. It is a 6-episode young adult title loosely based on the novel of the same name by Alice Urciuolo. Adoration is a coming of age with a strong mystery component that intertwines feelings and generations, in a succession of discoveries, surprising revelations and jealously guarded secrets, ending up destroying the few certainties of a provincial life always on the edge between aspirations and broken dreams.

The plot? Summer has just begun on the Agro Pontino coast when the disappearance of sixteen-year-old Elena casts a shadow on the small community. Given his rebellious nature, both the police and his friends think that this is yet another attempt to escape from a suffocating province, but they are wrong.
