Synopsis:
Officially, Italy`s Social Welfare Agency is a government-sponsored corporation that`s in the business of saving the lives of children. At least, that`s the ruse. The reality is far more sinister. The Agency operates on the fringes of advanced technology, giving young, female terminal patients another shot at life with the help of cybernetic implants and psychological conditioning. The process effectively shapes the patients into efficient killing machines specifically designed to handle the government`s undercover dirty work.
Each child assassin is teamed with a male handler responsible for her training and conditioning, her performance in the field, and her overall welfare and development. These teams are referred to as "fratello", the Italian for sibling. The series begins as four of the girls, Henrietta, Rico, Triela and Claes, embark upon their new lives and, as both assassins and developing adolescents, they struggle to come to terms with the imbalances between their natural feelings and emotions and those instilled in them by the conditioning process.

Special Features:
Building Henrietta. Textless songs - The Light Before We Land and Dopo Il Sogno.
