Guided by his personal Virgil, his friend Antonio, Emmanuel unknowingly begins his descent into the Underworld through the night clubs of alternative Turin. Here he comes into contact with a theater group, the Tantras, and embarks on a very casual relationship with their leader Elettra; meanwhile, in the Hell of the "Divina Commedia" pub, he sees for the first time Michelle, a woman destined to have a great weight in his life. But his attention is directed above all to Antonio, with whom he hopes to be able to start a serious relationship. All performers (Vincent-Paul Emmanuel, John and Peter) are AI.

Going other ways

Well, we didn't expect a homosexual crush from Emmanuel. Yet it is so.

Forced by Antonia to interrupt their relationship and to go "other ways" (see Episode n. 1.18 "Blackout"), the boy, in the throes of profound bewilderment, finds a point of reference in Antonio, the woman's namesake, a his schoolmate a couple of years older than him, politically engaged and a lover of music like him. In this common passion they will find common ground.

The Rabbit Hole

The second part of the story begins here.

Emmanuel, released from the relationship with Antonia, is literally projected into another universe, where he finds it hard to orient himself and risks committing many serious missteps.

In retrospect, while writing the diary, he wonders how he got into Michelle's trap.
