Day after day an episode will be revealed, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13g6qh-PEg&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank">in the first episode &#39; At Home &#39;</a> the protagonist Silvia listens to a speech by Paul B. Preciado , author, philosopher, curator and one of the most influential voices in gender theory. His work is a key point of reference for queer, trans and genderless communities. &ldquo;My character is a philosopher who intervenes on television to talk about the gender, sexual and anti-racist revolution we are going through right now. I am myself, in the sense that I bring my words and ideas to the stage, but on the other hand it is not exactly me because it is very difficult for a philosopher to speak on television, even more rare for him to speak looking directly into the eyes of those who are him listening at home&hellip; &quot;said Paul B. Preciado: &quot; I admire Alessandro Michele and Gus Van Sant a lot. I would define them as queer artists, to the extent that their work contributes to revolutionizing the way we understand the concepts of gender and sexuality. I am a huge lover of Gus Van Sant&#39;s films. Some of his films, including Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, My Own Private Idaho, Last Days, Harvey Milk and The Sea of Trees have been instrumental in processing the queer thinking of the my generation. &quot;

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIMU-xYIih4" target="_blank">In the episode &#39; At the Caf&eacute; &#39;</a> , Arlo Parks appears, a London poet and singer-songwriter who plays the role of Silvia&#39;s friend. Arlo&#39;s character leaves the bar he is in with Silvia and begins wandering the streets of Rome with a group of friends. &quot;It was my first time in this city. The climate was warm and the sky was a clear blue&quot; says Arlo about the days spent on the set: &quot;It was surreal to be directed by icons like Gus and Alessandro, their sense of humility and creativity was a real source of inspiration for me. There was a relaxed, playful atmosphere, and it was fun to improvise. I was able to get in touch with my more carefree and curious self. It was very fulfilling. . &quot;
