A Place in the Sun: Roberto faces Moro’s ex-wife on his own

Roberto and Marina attempt to discuss their issues, but amid mutual accusations they can no longer find common ground. The impasse persists until he receives a message from Moro’s ex-wife, asking him to meet her. Marina tries to be there for him, but he asks her to leave them alone. This only serves to make the situation even more tense. At the Bulcano bar, Samuel overhears a phone call from Lorenza, from which he discovers that his colleague hasn’t actually sat any exams for over six months, and that she has therefore been lying to everyone throughout this entire period. In the story of Clara and Damiano, as always, it is little Manuel who says the wisest thing: ‘But even if there was an affair, if two people love each other, why shouldn’t they forgive one another and stay together?’ Rosa tries to explain to him that it takes time, but in the end it all comes back to the main reason behind every couple’s row. If we were to accept that monogamy is a cultural construct, infidelity wouldn’t exist, nor would many break-ups.
