“Ricomincio da me”, the film directed by Peter Segal, will be broadcast on Tuesday 18 June in prime time on Canale 5. Maya works as a sales assistant in a small supermarket chain. In her life she had to make many sacrifices, starting with the studies she abandoned early to start working, and a daughter she had at seventeen and given up for adoption to give her a better future.
When she’s denied a promotion she thought she deserved, Maya realizes it’s hard to get ahead without a college degree. Her best friend Joan builds her a fake CV full of titles and experiences to get her hired at Franklin & Clarke (F & C), a prestigious cosmetics company run by Anderson Clarke.
Initially disappointed by the scam planned by her friends against her will, Maya understands that she must take advantage of this “second chance” to demonstrate her worth and that, even with her professional certificate, she can do very well in a high-level environment. Having joined F&C as a consultant, Maya meets Zoe, Anderson’s daughter and right-hand woman. Maya and Zoe become increasingly close until they discover that they are mother and daughter.
