I am Elisa del Genio and Ludovica Nasti in the role of Elena and Lila in childhood, while Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace were brought to play the two teenage friends.

All four have read the book of Elena Ferrante, the smallest with dedication, the older ones with conscience, but they all understood one thing: to be "lucky to be able to study", very young women "free to go to school". But these little warriors also have a common dream in the drawer: "This is the first time we get on a set, but we are committed, pbadionate, we followed the advice of the director, the lessons of the coach to speak the Neapolitan narrow, and I would like to continue playing the actresses in the future ".

For the director, the meeting with the four young performers (all beginners as Elena Ferrante asked) was like "a kind of revelation". The story covers more than sixty years of life – of the two girls but also of whole Italy – featuring 150 actors and 5,000 extras gathered around the real protagonists. The little ones tell of their pbadion to see a whole district mounted on sets, costumes, rehearsals.
