With almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 5.9 out of 10 from audiences, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Prime numbers are divisible only by one and themselves. These numbers are solitary and incomprehensible to others. Alice and Mattia are both "prime", both haunted by the tragedies that have marked them in childhood: a skiing accident for Alice which has caused a defect in her leg, and the loss of his twin sister for Matthew.
