Bang Bang Baby

Despite the chewing gum commercial Alice sees on TV, she knows you can't kill people popping bubbles. Alice Giammatteo, 16, lives in a quiet city in Veneto with her mother. Her life as a shy and awkward girl takes a turn when she finds out the father she once believed to be dead, Santo Maria, is actually alive and part of a criminal family.

Alice recalls her childhood with her father's family as if it was one of those happy American sitcom families… but was it? Santo, Alice's father, tasks her with disposing of the dead body of U' Damerino, but Nonna Lina, Alice's granmother, and the ruthless Ferraù cousins, are all looking for the deceased man.

Just like in the Bionic Woman, Alice dreams she's getting an iron heart. Is that very heart the same as her father's? Alice helps her father and he promises to help her face the shock of what she's done for him. Nereo Ferraù and his cousin Assunta make a surprising discovery that puts Santo in a difficult position while simultaneously investigating the Damerino's disappearance.

We are what we are, everyone must follow their destiny. Lassie's destiny is to come home. Suspecting foul play in the disappearance of the Damerino, the ‘ndrangheta decides to verify Santo's alibi. Santo once again asks for help from his daughter. Meanwhile, a sweet Collie named Lassie makes a macabre discovery…

Sometimes Alice's life resembles Pacman's. The main goal of both is to run and save themselves. Alice's situation quickly get worse following the discovery of one of the Damerino's arms, prompting Santo to tell her they must run away with Giuseppina. But his plan does not exactly work out, when Nereo and Assunta are on their tracks.

Bruce Banner or the Hulk? It's time for Alice to decide who she wants to be… Santo has been left wounded by Nereo, and might not make it. However, despite finally seeing ther father's true colors, Alice decides to try to save his life. But with the looming menace of Nereo, who knows what will happen next.

Just like in the "The Day After," Alice asks herself what she's willing to do in a post-apocalyptic dystopia. Santo is hiding out at Gabriella's factory. To solve the situation, Alice agrees to a meeting with an important ‘ndrangheta boss: the mysterious Mr. Fritz. Meanwhile, Nonna Lina is involved in an unplanned and unpleasant situation with the Ferraùs.

Charlie's Angels remind Alice that women can do anything. You know why? Well, because it's true. Nereo Ferraù is now closer than ever to discovering Santo's hiding place. Knowing this, Alice asks Nonna Lina's help getting her father to Calabria safe and sound. To do so, she will have to put herself in a very dangerous situation.

The last move on a Rubik Cube is the hardest one, and Alice has to think carefully if she wants to resolve this brain teaser. Thanks to Alice, her father manages to escape from Nereo. Convinced that going to Calabria will mean his death sentence, Santo tries to convince his daughter to run away with him. Once there, Alice realizes she made a mistake in trusting Nonna Lina.

Do you ever feel like your life is a Japanese cartoon? Alice knows one thing for sure: if it was, it would be awesome. Santo has put Alice in a position where she has everything to lose. She can either go into witness protection with him or go to jail. But Alice finds herself a third, decidedly extreme option. Is she ready to go through with it?
