HBO Max Original Series
She designs buildings. He writes the books that make people want to live in them. They are in love and entirely incompatible. Ana Delic, 29, is an award-winning architect based in Vienna known for designing spaces that feel simultaneously ancient and new — she is obsessed with the question of what makes humans feel at home in a built environment. She is brilliant, exacting, slightly cold in professional settings, and entirely herself in private ones. Nico Reyes, 32, is a novelist based in Barcelona whose books about place, memory, and belonging have made him internationally celebrated. They meet at an architecture symposium in Rome where Nico is the keynote speaker and Ana is publicly, memorably, and somewhat rudely critical of his thesis. They are drawn to each other despite themselves and across two seasons navigate what it means to build a life together when both of their careers are built on the idea that place is deeply personal and they don't agree on what that means. The show is a sophisticated adult romance with a genuine intellectual core — two people who think for a living having to think carefully about each other. Season 1 — The Argument Rome. The symposium. The public disagreement. The private recognition. The first year of a relationship between two people who argue as foreplay. Season 2 — The Blueprint The harder question: whose city do they live in? Can two people whose professions are about place find a shared one? The answer is specific, unexpected, and entirely theirs.
