Set in the late 1950s, this season follows the early career of Oriana Fallaci, when she was still known as "the girl from the movies" and worked as a reporter for the Italian weekly magazine L’Europeo.
It was during this time that Fallaci turned her first trip to the United States into a unique opportunity, meeting extraordinary figures and painting a sharp, often raw and ironic, portrait of American culture and the reality behind the glamorous façade of Hollywood.
