Lights, camera, passion! In “Telenovela,” Italian songwriter Biagio Antonacci turns a rocky love affair into a riveting soap-opera episode. The narrator admits he has played the traitor “like Judas,” begging forgiveness at her door, only to watch his lover slip away again. Their story swings between apologies and fresh wounds, candlelit dances and seaside betrayals, just like the dramatic twists you would see on late-night TV.
Antonacci paints love as a rose with an unavoidable thorn: it dazzles, then delivers a sting. Jealousy flares, half-truths circulate, and a once-splendid girl is “ruined in the space of a full moon.” When the poison of love finally drifts off, what remains is a thirst for revenge fit for a cliff-hanger finale. “Telenovela” is a cinematic reminder that passion can be addictive, messy and irresistibly entertaining—no remote control required!
