"Blanca goes on like a train as if she doesn't have any kind of disability. When something from her surroundings catches her attention it is as if she enters a 'black room', in which she isolates the sound produced by a thing or a person. ". Thus Maria Chiara Giannetta, known to the general public for her interpretation of the “captain” Anna in the fiction Don Matteo, tells of her new television adventure in the role of Blanca, a disabled young man serving in the police.
"Blanca" is also the title of the new unconventional TV series interpreted by the actress and Giuseppe Zeno, arriving this evening on Rai1 in six first nights.
A story inspired by the novel of the same name by Patrizia Rinaldi and which follows the events of a young woman who lost her sight at the age of 12, due to a fire in which her sister died. She joined the police and is now a consultant in Genoa.
Blanca specializes in decodage, that is the analytical listening of all the audio materials of the investigations, such as wiretapping and interrogations.
Produced by Luca and Matilde Bernabei for Lux Vide in collaboration with Rai Fiction, the series is directed by Jan Maria Michelini (flanked by Giacomo Martelli for episodes 4-6) and was created with the artistic advice of Andrea Bocelli, who not only he described the "world of the blind" to the writers, but he also did a little training for the protagonist.
"I was at his house - confirms Maria Chiara Giannetta - I saw him running down a flight of stairs. Andrea Bocelli told me that there is nothing a blind person cannot do".
The work also represents the first series in the world made with the use of holophony, a special sound recording technique that allows it to be reproduced in a similar way to how it is perceived by the human hearing system.
Each episode focuses on a "case", a small "yellow" always linked to the city of Genoa. The events related to the life of Blanca intersect, attracted and divided between two men, colleague Liguori and friend Nanni, a young chef (Pierpaolo Spollon), his relationship with Lucia, the twelve-year-old daughter of the victim of the first case dealt with in the various episodes, and with his father.
