This is an Italian Telenovela, replete with all the trademarks of the usual RAI production. There's a lot of crying, shouting, slapping, and screaming in the faces of others, close enough for one to see "spit spray"! The acting is overdone in many cases and the lead actor's teeth are a real distraction. The script is meant to be a journey of redemption, but the themes becomes so overused, it eventually becomes tiresome. Some of the scenes and events just do not connect well. This leads to problems with story continuity. The constantly shifting timelines also do not help. There is too much of a political/moral agenda being pushed throughout the Telenovela.....it's not really a series!
