A beautiful series!

A beautiful series, one of the best I have lately seen. The two lead actors, in spite of being rookies, are outstanding, with a special mention for Title, who is able to express the most subtle feelings just with the eyes. The filmography is beautiful and interesting, with a vintage patina when showing the earlier life of the two leads; the many flashbacks are functional to the general storytelling, but perhaps they could have been cut by at least 25%, especially in the final episodes, which largely consist of flashbacks, although this is done in an intelligent way, showing the same scenes from a different camera angle, or with new micro-scenes, to better depict the feelings of the other partner. The general pace is slow, but never boring. On the whole, the mood is quite sad, but not excessively so: the prevailing feeling is that of calm and nostalgy. I also liked the parsimonious use of makeup (the actors do not look like clowns, as it often happens). A plus are the comments of the actors at the end of each episode. The positive ending (for the two leads) is a nice counterweight to the generally sad mood of the other episodes. The abrupt ending for the secondary couple looks strange, perhaps it hints at a continuation. It seems that they are planning to release the series as a movie: this could be the occasion for fixing some evident problems, such as the excessive use of flashbacks.
