Mrs Playmen: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Adelina Tattilo is Mrs. Playmen, editor of Italy's first erotic magazine and a revolutionary force in the conservative, moralistic Rome of the 1970s. A pioneering entrepreneur in an era when women were confined to the roles of mothers and housewives; a devout Catholic, yet also a bold nonconformist, she stood at the forefront of battles for divorce, abortion rights, and women's emancipation. When her husband, Saro Balsamo, abandons her, leaving her alone to face creditors as the sole owner of an empire on the brink of collapse, Adelina refuses to give up. She reinvents Playmen, transforming it into a sophisticated and cutting-edge publication and, defying the entrenched sexism of the time, gathers around her a team of brilliant intellectuals, daring creatives, and visionary photographers. Together, they break taboos, provoke the establishment, and ignite a cultural revolution, issue after issue, scandal after scandal.
