Comedy
10 episodes x 25 min (with the possibility of subsequent seasons)
After being electrocuted on the set of his latest blockbuster, Mike, a middle-aged Hollywood director, becomes convinced that he is Michelangelo Buonarroti. He flees to Italy in the footsteps of the Renaissance genius, in a search for identity that will even tempt him to convert to Catholicism, to the despair of his Jewish family and his producer…
“Mike” is a series that mixes sparkling comedy and romance, building bridges between different eras and cultures and amusingly comparing Italy and the United States, Catholicism and Judaism, tradition and modernity, the Renaissance and the present, youth and old age. A love letter to Italy that will intrigue anyone who appreciates cultural diversity and believes there is a pinch of genius in each of us.
