Mrs Playmen tells the real story of Adelina Tattilo, a courageous and visionary woman who founded Italy’s iconic erotic magazine Playmen during the 1960s-70s. In conservative Rome—a society steeped in religion, tradition, and rigid moral codes—Adelina defies expectations. When her husband Saro Balsamo abandons her and the magazine faces financial ruin, Adelina refuses to give up. She reinvents Playmen into an elegant, provocative publication that challenges taboo, encourages intellectual freedom, and becomes a platform for bold creators, thinkers, and photographers. Despite social backlash and personal struggles, she persists in transforming Italian culture, breaking barriers, and redefining women’s roles in a society that expects silence.
