NETFLIX RELEASES TRAILER FOR NEW PERIOD SET TV SERIES THE LAW ACCORDING TO LIDIA POET ABOUT ITALY'S FIRST EVER LAWYER FROM THE 19TH CENTURY

Turin, late 1800s. A ruling by the Court of Appeal of Turin declares Lidia Poët's enrollment in the register of lawyers illegitimate, thus preventing her from practicing the profession because she is a woman. Penniless but full of pride, Lidia finds a job at her brother Enrico's law firm, while she prepares the appeal to overturn the Court's conclusions. Through a gaze that goes beyond her time, Lidia assists the suspects by seeking the truth behind appearances and prejudices. Jacopo (Eduardo Scarpetta), a mysterious journalist and Lidia's brother-in-law, passes her information and guides her into the hidden worlds of a magniloquent Turin. The series reinterprets the true story of Lidia Poët, the first lawyer in Italy, in a light procedural key. Pier Luigi Pasino is Enrico Poët, brother of Lidia, while Sara Lazzaro and Sinéad Thornhill are respectively Teresa Barberis, wife of Enrico, and Marianna Poët, their daughter.
