“So. Anyway. My name is Chiara Guerrieri, I’m thirty-nine years old,
and I live in Rome. I have a husband, two kids, a job I like and a house.”
Each day Chiara tells us about her daily life in 8 minutes.
The diary, which runs from Monday to Friday, follows the protagonist’s
weekly commitments; cappuccino with friends after accompanying the
children to school, meetings at work, her son’s soccer games,
her daughter’s rhythmic gymnastics lessons, homework, research
to prepare, a love that is now over a decade old to keep alive…so many
things, too many, to not be always, constantly, running behind.
Each day Chiara turns to the viewer and ironically talks about her life,
asking some questions that involve all of us. How can a woman be
a good mother, good wife and realize her goals at work without completely
losing her way?
Do the children’s requests come before everything else, even when they
ask you to make bread with walnuts and raisins, just like the mothers
of their classmates seem to do?

In its eighteenth year of programming, Un Posto al Sole continues
to fascinate millions of viewers. It’s a growing success that confirms
its ability to weave the classic themes of the series – love, intrigue,
passion, revenge, jealousy and friendship – with daily life and social issues.
Many important themes are faced: from violence against women to foster
care, the donation of blood and organs and the housing emergency
through stories and characters that, with the immediacy and simplicity
they have always had, are able to convey topics related to current events
in which the audience can see itself completely reflected.

Piedmont, 1922. Borgo Larici is a quiet and orderly place where the men
work in the textile factory while their wives take care of raising and educating the future generations of workers.
Everything seems perfect, but things are bound to change radically.
The echo of the social unrest that will revolutionize Italy in a few months
is about to arrive here as well, and for Giulio Sormani (Simone Colombari),
the factory’s owner, holding off the workers’ claims is becoming more and
more complicated.
The unexpected arrival of Francesco Sormani (Giulio Berruti), Giulio’s
moody son, who preferred car racing and life in Paris to work in the factory, confuses matters further.
Francesco rushes to the countryside after receiving an anonymous letter
stating that his mother Margherita (Sara D’Amario), who officially committed suicide 23 years before, is actually still alive.
The young Sormani wants to understand what is going on, but another
mystery is quickly added to the first – the night after his arrival, in fact, the
lifeless body of his father, Giulio Sormani, is found inside the factory.
After this blow, Francesco is increasingly determined to stay in the village
to investigate Margherita’s disappearance and Giulio’s death.

The investigations will be long and complicated, but Anita Sclavi (Serena
Lansiti), the village’s beautiful teacher, who Francesco meets soon after
his arrival, will be there to help.
The two are attracted to each other at first sight, but their social differences risk being insurmountable. More than anyone, Giovanni Sormani
(Adalberto Maria Merli), Francesco’s grandfather and the town’s true
dominus, will be the one to put distance between the two.
With a face carved in stone and impervious to any emotion, Giovanni will
do everything he can to prevent Francesco’s willpower and Anita’s intuition
from uniting and discovering the terrible secrets of Borgo Larici…
