S2 Ep 82.4. That is, precisely at the level (Emmanuel has fun with a group of freaks)
After so much suffering, Emmanuel wants to have some fun.He is currently engaged (so to speak) in a very relaxed relationship with Elettra, the leader of Tantras (a theater company in Turin).One evening he witnesses an Ionesco-like dialogue between the members of the group and reports it to us verbatim.What emerges is the surreal picture of a group of sympathetic bewildered people, with whom the protagonist spends his time carefree to forget his malaise, waiting to understand if his relationship with Antonio (with whom, unlike with Elettra, he is serious ) will be able to take off.All the characters are AI.At the beginning and at the end of the episode you can listen to an Italian "cult" song from the seventies, "Ho visto anche degli zingari felici (I also saw happy gypsies)" by Claudio Lolli, in the original version and in the excellent cover by Luca Carboni and Riccardo Sinigallia.

Dopo tanto soffrire per amore, Emmanuel ha voglia di divertirsi.Attualmente è impegnato (si fa per dire) in un rapporto molto disinvolto con Elettra, la leader dei Tantra (una compagnia teatrale torinese).Una sera assiste ad un dialogo alla Ionesco fra i membri del gruppo e ce lo riporta alla lettera.Ne emerge il quadro surreale di un gruppo di stravolti, con cui il protagonista passa spensieratamente il suo tempo per dimenticare il suo malessere, in attesa di capire se il suo rapporto con Antonio (con cui, a differenza che con Elettra, fa sul serio) potrà decollare.Tutti i personaggi maschili sono interpretati da Paolo Malgioglio, quelli femminili da Elisa Gandolfi.All'inzio e alla fine dell'episodio si può ascoltare un brano "cult" degli anni Settanta, "Ho visto anche degli zingari felici" di Claudio Lolli, in versione originale e nell'ottima cover di Luca Carboni e Riccardo Sinigallia....This time Emmanuel wants to have fun.Engaged (so to speak) in a very nonchalant relationship with Elettra, the leader of the Tantras (a theater company in Turin), he witnesses an Ionesco-like dialogue between the members of the group and reports it to us verbatim.

S2 Ep 32.2. Per altre vie (E dopo Antonia, entra in scena Antonio)
Diciamo la verità: una sbandata in senso omosessuale non ce la aspettavamo da Emmanuel. E invece...Costretto da Antonia ad interrompere la loro relazione e ad andare "per altre vie" (vedi Episodio n. 1.18 "Blackout"), il ragazzo, in preda ad un profondo smarrimento, trova un punto di riferimento in Antonio, omonimo della donna, un suo compagno di scuola più grande di lui di un paio d'anni, politicamente impegnato ed amante come lui della musica. In questa passione comune troveranno un terreno d'intesa.La voce è quella di Paolo Malgioglio.Nell'episodio si possono ascoltare brani tratti dalle seguenti tracce:"Hasta siempre comandante Che Guevara" degli Inti Illimani;"Las Vegas Tango" di Robert Wyatt;"Venus de Milo" dei Television;"Pleasant Street" di Tim Buckley;"Heroin" di Lou Reed;"Electricity" di Captain Beefheart;"Gimme Shelter" dei Rolling Stones.
