Synopsis
Inspired by the Baby Squillo scandal in 2013, the plot develops in an elite high school in Rome. Baby follows Chiara Altieri, a rich and beautiful girl who is disillusioned with her privileged life. She soon meets Ludovica Storti, an impulsive girl who's secretly in need of money. Ludovica soon draws Chiara into the world of underage prostitution.
