Written by Chiara Barzini (“Arianna”), Bernardini, Ludovica Rampoldi (“Gomorrah”) and Giordana Mari (“1993”), the series turns on a team of elite female teen gymnasts competing in an international event high up in the snowbound Italian Alps.

Spearheaded by the collaboration of Paramount+ Italia, Paramount +/Viacom has acquired rights to Australia, South Korea, Canada and the U.K. Such powerful partners feeds through to the distribution.
