Unfolding in Milan at the end of the 80s, Bang Bang Baby is a crime series centred around a shy and insecure teenager, Alice, who becomes a mafia organisation’s youngest member in a bid to win the love of her father, an ‘ndrangheta affiliate.
Episodes
Death is not funny
Despite the Big Babol publicity, Alice knows: you don't kill people by popping balloons. Alice Giammatteo is sixteen and lives in a quiet town in Veneto with her mother. Her life as a shy and awkward teenager is turned upside down by a discovery about her father, Santo Maria, who she thought was dead and who belongs to a 'Ndrangheta family.
Barone House
Alice recalls her childhood with the Barones: one of those American sitcoms with happy families... or is it? Alice receives the task from her father to eliminate the body of Salvo Ferraù, the "Damerinu." Grandma Lina, however, sets out on the dead man's trail. And she's not the only one. The Ferraù cousins arrive from Calabria: the fortune teller Assunta and the unpredictable Nereo, intent on finding his brother.
A bionic heart
In her dreams, just like the bionic woman, Alice is implanted with a heart of steel. Could it be her father's heart? Alice helps Santo, and her father's promises help her overcome the shock of what she did for him. Meanwhile, however, while investigating the Damerino's disappearance, Nereo and his cousin Assunta make a discovery that puts Santo in a very uncomfortable position.
Twists of fate
We are what we are, each must follow our own destiny. And Lassie's is to return home. Suspecting that Damerino has been murdered, the 'Ndrangheta decides to check Santo's alibi, as he once again needs his daughter's help. Meanwhile, a sweet collie named Lassie makes a macabre discovery.
Game over
Alice's life at times is like Pac Man's. Her main goal is to escape and save her own skin. After finding one of the Damerino's arms, the situation escalates: Santo tells his daughter that they must flee abroad, along with Giuseppina. His plan, however, turns out to be somewhat different. And the Ferraùs haven't given up.
The incredible one
Bruce Banner or the Hulk? It's time for Alice to choose who she wants to be... Santo has been injured by the Ferraù and is in danger of dying. But Alice, despite finally awakening to his unscrupulous criminal nature, tries to save his life. But the looming threat of the Ferraù makes the outcome far from certain.
Boom!
Like in the movie "The Day After," what is Alice willing to do to survive a post-atomic disaster? Santo is being kept hidden in the factory where Gabriella works. To get him out of the way, Alice agrees to meet the mysterious Mr. Fritz, a prominent 'Ndrangheta boss. Meanwhile, Grandma Lina is involved in an unpleasant incident with the Ferraù family.
Angels
The Charlie's Angels remind Alice that women can do anything. Do you know why? Well, because it's true. Nereo Ferraù is now one step away from discovering Santo's hideout. Alice therefore asks her grandmother for help getting her father safely to Calabria. To do so, however, she puts herself in a very dangerous situation.
Do the right move
The last move of the Rubik's Cube is the most difficult, and Alice must think carefully if she wants to solve the puzzle. Thanks to Alice, her father manages to escape Nereo's clutches. Convinced that going to Calabria is tantamount to a death sentence, Santo tries to convince his daughter to run away with him. And it's in Calabria that Alice discovers she was wrong to trust Grandma Lina.
Bang! Bang!
Do you ever feel like your life is like a Japanese cartoon? Alice has no doubts: it would be awesome. Santo has put Alice in a position where she has everything to lose: go into witness protection with him or end up in prison? Surprisingly, however, Alice finds a third option, a decidedly extreme one. Will she be ready to go all the way?
