S01E10: Spring / Houston, we've got a problem
Rudi is growing up and seems to be morbidly attracted to girls. So Giulio, not without embarrassment, begins to address the topic of sex with his children. Rudi, however, wants to move from theory to practice and invites his friends home to play the "postman game". When the innkeeper catches Rudi kissing Alice, he goes back to his old ways. Meanwhile, Eva becomes jealous once she discovers the relationship. After a strange phone call, Giulio becomes convinced that Lucia is being pursued by a man. After entrusting his children to the care of Ezio and Stefania, the innkeeper leaves for the United States with Cesare and Gabriella, but during the flight the Cesaroni brothers are mistaken for two attackers and repatriated. Upon his return to Italy, Giulio discovers that the mysterious John is none other than Lucia's gay roommate.
Overview
Giulio is a widower, struggling to raise three sons, Marco, Rudi, and Mimmo, as best he can. He lives in Rome's working-class Garbatella neighborhood and runs a wine shop with his two brothers. Lucia, meanwhile, comes from Milan's middle-class background; she's divorced and trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, Eva and Alice. The two meet by chance and recognize each other: they had a fling as teenagers, many years earlier. Yet first love is never forgotten, and so Giulio and Lucia find themselves together again. Their meeting, however, changes not only the lives of a man and a woman, but also those of two families as different as could be. Two families who find themselves living under the same roof without even having had the time to get to know each other well.
