Ciro’s father, a popular Neapolitan singer, dies trying to stage dive during a performance. After this unfortunate episode, Ciro, usually blessed with a very healthy appetite, stops eating altogether. His mother Deborah, extremely worried about the boy’s health, brings him to Tommaso, a shy and clumsy child psychologist, who discovers that Ciro’s troubles also stem from his first crush, on his beautiful classmate Ludovica. Soon doctor and patient make a deal: Tommaso will help Ciro to get Ludovica’s attention, and, in return, Ciro will help make Deborah fall in love with Tommaso.
