From the opening frames, the Netflix series Tear Along The Dotted Line focuses on the universe where Zero grew up, with the buildings of Rebibbia and the Ponte Mammolo neighbourhood in the eastern outskirts of Roma on the via Tiburtina. The Colosseum, Circus Maximus and the imperial fora all appear as meeting places for the young characters, although most of the time they are hinted at by the metro station names.
The story of Zero offers a mirror for an entire generation born in the 1980s whose existence is studded by precarity, solitude, inadequacy and insecurity. With the biting irony and sarcasm that characterises all his work, Zero tells his story from high school when his certainties began to crumble in that scholastic setting to the end of his 20s. In the mix are dramas and adolescent infatuations, the endless search for work, friendship with Alice, which is also the relationship of his life, and a trip to Biella that Zero and his friends Sarah and Secco would never have chosen to take.
