The series will remain jovial and extravagant, but always rooted in the truth, all the characters will remain anchored in realism, without ever falling into caricatures.
At the center of the story there is always the search for love, humor, a passion for 80s cinema. Astrology is a fundamental component of the tale, but it will stay more in the background than anything else: the heart of the narrative are the stories of all the characters with their ambitions and their difficulties.
Astrology will be the unifying element between these personal stories, it will help us to deepen them and to appreciate them to the fullest.
