Marco seeks a love without compromises and in which the note of joy and happiness dominates, but apparently he is destined to run into all kinds of bitter lessons until he understands that cheerful love can only exist by accepting the moment of choice and responsibility.
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
The beautiful Italian comedy - which Ettore Scola, Mario Monicelli, Luigi Comencini taught us, in which we laugh bitterly, reflecting on customs taken for granted, whose invisible forces determine our destiny - seems forgotten and confused with the light comedy, of total disengagement. This film aims to recover that more demanding and satisfying approach of cinema towards society.
