Aired
Episode 1Palla a due50 min
Caserta, early 80s. In a province in Southern Italy far from the spotlights, a group of "scugnizzi" from the city play in the street and dream of making it in the only sport that reaches for the sky: basketball.
Episode 2La reggia del basket50 min
1982. The construction of the PalaMaggiò in just one hundred days gives the "scugnizzi" the ideal arena for their sporting battles. For Juvecaserta, going to challenge the great North of the basketball quadrilateral is no longer just a fantasy.
Episode 3Gli eterni bonsai50 min
Seasons 84/85 and 85/86. The "scugnizzi" twice come within a few points of triumph, but crash against the wall of the giants of Olimpia Milano. In the locker room the shadow of a doubt begins to creep in: what if the Caserta team were only eternal seconds?
Episode 4Il profumo della vittoria50 min
The following seasons gave the "scugnizzi" their first sporting joys. In 1989 the most epic match took place: the final of the Cup Winners' Cup against the great Real Madrid. A battle played point by point, until the most unpredictable epilogue.

1990. At the end of another unsuccessful season, the "scugnizzi" decide to take on even more responsibility and definitively focus on themselves. How? By betraying the team's leader, the best scorer.
