The fourth and final season of this individually adored prestige drama brings Elena Ferrante's books vividly to life, winning the hearts of audiences and critics around the world. For all their differences, Elena Greco and Lila Cerullo were inseparable from the moment they met at school in 1950s Naples. With epic scale and ambition, the first three series plot their troubled path together: the ups and downs of Elena's life as a successful novelist in Pisa, Lila's marriage to an abusive husband and subsequent hardships as a single mother working in a cured meats factory. The fourth instalment of the saga, titled "Story of the Lost Child," delves into the adult lives of Elena and Lila. They find themselves entangled in the turmoil of Italy in the late 80s, nearing the end of decades of political violence and social unrest.
