Strappare lungo i bordi: la trama
Zerocalcare ventures into the world of animated series with Strappare lungo i bordi for Netflix, bringing on the streaming platform his well-known narrative universe in video version. The indiscretions about the plot are very few: the story tells about a train trip of Zerocalcare with his lifelong friends, Sarah and Secco, who are preparing to do something very difficult.
During the journey, there is no lack of flashbacks and anecdotes about the life of the cartoonist, ranging from his childhood to the present day. Memories of his school years alternate with existential reflections and dialogues with his friend Armadillo.
All the characters in the series are voiced by Zerocalcare, but only for Armadillo has an exceptional voice been chosen: that of the actor Mastandrea. The two of them will accompany viewers and fans of the cartoonist until the end of the story, where a surprise awaits them.
Strappare lungo i bordi: quando uscare
Zerocalcare's animated series was announced in December 2020 and since then no indiscretions were leaked until June, when the cartoonist posted a nice video on his social networks to reassure fans about the work in progress.
In the June video, they were ironic about an evil Netflix that like the eye of Sauron watches over everything, preventing Zerocalcare from revealing even the smallest detail. Now, however, there is an official release date: the 6 episodes of the series Strappare lungo i bordi (Tear Along the Edges) will arrive on Netflix starting November 17, and will have its world premiere on Monday, October 18 at the Rome Film Festival, where the first two episodes will be screened.
