“I’m 50% Bangla, 50% Italian, 100% Torpigna”. This is how he presented himself in his debut film that left its mark (David di Donatello for best first feature, Silver Ribbon for best comedy). Now Phaim Bhuiyan signs four hands with Emanuele Scaringi (The prophecy of the armadillo) Bangla the series, produced by Fandango with Rai Fiction, which he always plays with Carlotta Antonelli, Pietro Sermonti, Simone Liberati, Rishad Noorani, eight episodes of 30 minutes in program on Raiplay from February, the first two premiered at the Turin film festival.

n comedy key of the torments of a second generation young man Muslim in suspense between the world of his parents, who arrived in Rome before he was born but closely linked with traditions, religious above all, of origin, that of Asia, the Roman girl he is in love with and his very extended family . And also that of his Bangla friends, like him with one foot in tradition, and in taboos – the prohibition of sex before marriage on everyone – and one in a society, the Italian one, which still hinders full integration. «The idea of the series – says Phaim – was born even before the film, in Fandango, after seeing my report on love between the second generations on TV. In the series we broaden the points of view. For example, we show the difficulties my parents have in approaching the Italian community, while we, going to school, integrated ourselves more. They sacrificed themselves for us and had much more difficulty, even in the linguistic approach. We are lucky enough to experience two different points of view, our parents and the Italians, we are a bit the bridge between two cultures and we can understand why there are still conflicts and difficulties ». Among the new entries, a central character, Phaim’s cousin, tough and resolute: «to better describe integration from a female point of view, the other side of the coin».
Curry e vaccinara
The neighborhood, Torpigna, remains central but, Scaringi explains, “more than the conflicts in North Rome East Rome, we wanted to deepen through the reality of the two city families the relationship between the first and second generations of our immigration, giving voice to the children who feel a question mark rather than part of a group. We are in a transition phase, because in Italy it is still something new: there are countries like England and America that are already much more inclusive, here we are in full evolution. As the Italian comedy played on contrasts north and south, and between the desire for modernity and the strength of traditionalism, we face, in a brilliant key, the issue of integration that is still far away, like the story of right to the soil demonstrates “. This series, explains the producer Domenico Procacci, «is un clever way to deal with important topics, usually dealt with in a dramatic tone. He uses irony to tell an authentic reality up close, he speaks of Ramadan, of everyday life, of the dynamics within families ». Entering contradictions, making conflicts explode, broadening points of view. Following Phaim, “link between curry and vaccinara”
