ReplyDeleteI am more or less done with the Italian shows, but will give this one a go if the trailer satisfies me.
DeleteHaving to deal with the aftermath of dealing with the abusive father like that is going to be anything but easy. Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat ragazza did not have an easy life for sure.
DeleteSibling rivalry is nasty business, indeed. But I suppose better to deal with that than an abusive parent.

DeleteThe same here, mommy prefers her oldest always.
