News breaks out like a bomb. Because of a genetic mutation immigrants living in Italy seem to weigh far more, despite being visibly thinner. Is that wondrous country in danger of sinking? A tv journalist looking for a scoop decides to endorse the strange theory. A mockumentary about fake news, media, politics, Italy.
