Two men and three women meet on the threshold of true adulthood. Starting from a decision for independence that leads to a plunge into the underworld, a tumultuous decade begins to unfold before them.

The puzzle of their lives will be completed by disparate pieces: lack of opportunities, the price of success, dark sexual desires, the corrosive nature of envy, the imprint of childhood traumas. No one will be left out: respectable parents, toxic lovers, prominent businessmen, crime lords, lawyers, monks, bodyguards, anonymous admirers.

Against a backdrop of a world of corruption, where power converses with organized crime, "Patimena Trianda" is the portrait of an entire generation that lost its optimism during the succession of crises that marked its coming of age.

An exciting coming-of-age journey, a penetrating look into the generation that grew up in perpetual crisis. With humor, suspense, and incisive character study, this is a work that explores human existence through five different perspectives, in a numb, fragmented society.
