Imma Tataranni is an Italian drama series revolving around the life and work of the titular character, a talented public prosecutor in the small town of Matera. In the series' premiere episode titled "Summer of the Finger," viewers are introduced to Imma Tataranni and the challenges she must face.
The episode begins with a scene in which a young girl announces that she has found a finger on the beach. The camera then cuts to Imma, who is at her office receiving a request to investigate the matter. Though hesitant at first, Imma agrees to take up the case and starts her investigation.
As Imma delves deeper, she realizes that the finger belongs to a local priest and was probably chopped off during a recent burglary in the church. She quickly discovers that the church has been robbed twice in the past, and this incident marks the third instance of theft. Imma suspects that the robbery may be connected to a local mafia family, and starts a meticulous investigation.
As Imma tries to solve the case, she comes across several other challenges. One of her most pressing problems is the fact that she is a woman in a profession dominated by men. Her colleagues and even her own father underestimate her abilities, and often show a lack of faith in her capacities as a prosecutor. Despite this, Imma perseveres, determined to prove herself and showcase her skills.
The episode also offers insight into Imma's personal life. She has a husband, Gabriele, and a young son, but is often torn between her professional commitments and her family responsibilities. Her husband, a journalist, is supportive of her career, but is equally frustrated by the lack of time she spends with their family. Imma's mother and in-laws also make an appearance, adding to the complexity of her personal life.
As Imma's investigation progresses, she gets closer to discovering the identity of the culprits responsible for the robbery and the gruesome incident involving the priest's finger. However, as she gets closer to the truth, she realizes that her own life may be in danger.
Overall, "Summer of the Finger" sets the stage for Imma Tataranni's character, introducing viewers to her strong-willed and determined personality. The episode also showcases the beauty of Matera, a picturesque town that serves as the backdrop for the series. With its compelling storyline, strong performances, and excellent cinematography, Imma Tataranni promises to be a thrilling ride from start to finish.
