We Are Who We Are plot

The show follows Fraser, a shy, introverted 14-year-old who moves from bustling metropolis New York to the dreamy landscape of Veneto, Italy, to be with his mothers Maggie and Sarah, both in the U.S. Army.

The eight-part series "immerses the audience in all the messy exhilaration and anguish of being a teenager – a story which could happen anywhere in the world, but in this case, happens in this little slice of America in Italy," the BBC teases.

"With We Are Who We Are we are attempting to portray the here and now of two families, few generations, many exciting people," Luca Guadagnino said in a statement.

"To see the world from their perspective it is what I am delighted to share with UK audiences. To do so thanks to the prestigious and remarkable BBC is an accomplishment and a soothing encouragement," he added.

Sue Deeks, Head of Programme Acquisition at the BBC, said: “We are so delighted that this beautifully observed drama will be enjoyed by BBC viewers – it really is very special”.
