​

Nabil is a refugee from Gambia. He has realized that Italy is not the land of dreams, and now he dreams of reaching Northern Europe, though he doesn’t have high hopes. He is a shy and reserved person who enjoys isolating himself from the world by listening to African music. Caring and kind, he helps Agata in her time of need.

​

He successfully completed his high school diploma and now works as a mechanic while continuing to pursue his passion for cinema and art.

Giulia is Agata’s friend (or at least Agata considers her as such) and also a bit like her conscience. A very practical woman, convinced she always knows best, with a permanent job, a husband, and two kids, she is the perfect example of everything Agata has not achieved in life. Despite Agata looking up to her as a role model, Giulia is a superficial character, highly focused on appearances.

She performed in plays by Paolo Virzì and Lillo & Greg.

​​​

Alex is Agata’s ex-boyfriend. They met online, and he seemed like a “decent person,” almost like Prince Charming. Little by little, though, he began to take over Agata’s entire life, isolating her from her family and friends, eventually escalating from verbal to physical abuse. When she decided to report him, he couldn’t handle losing control over a girl he always considered inferior to him and started following her everywhere.

​
