Ciro and Marco, a few bucks, an old Beetle, and a touch of madness. A low-budget, carefree, and entertaining road movie set in the heart of Naples' popular and musical cinema. From pioneer Gustavo Lombardo to Elvira Notari. From Raffaele Viviani to Natale Montillo. From Giacomo Rondinella to Mario Merola and Angela Luce. From Carmelo Zappulla to Pupella Maggio and the Squallor.
A journey through memories—at times dramatic—of real-life moments that inspired hilarious sketches. Ciro and Marco roam the most eccentric city in the world.
…But how beautiful is the city of Pulcinella!?
