Emmanuel

The Perfect Metaphor (Michelle K.)

Season 2, Ep. 9

What was Emmanuel hiding in the previous episode?


His relationship with Michelle, known as Gerti. A new character, already briefly glimpsed in episode 2.3. "Moon in Hell", where she appeared as a dancer: a woman as fascinating as she is dangerous, who attracts Emmanuel into her network of seduction, drugs and occult interests, typical of esoteric Turin.


A period of delirium of the senses with tragic and disturbing implications begins for the boy.


The Interpreters are Vincent-Paul Emmanuel and Frieda (AI).


During the episode you can hear parts of the following songs: "Brother James" and "Junkie's Promise" by Sonic Youth, "Hey" (instrumental version) and "Into the White" by the Pixies, "Sacrifice" by Jocelyn Pook.
