Giacomo, the main character, 35 years of laziness, is a man who doesn't know and doesn't want to fight. He is a introvert curmudgeon, a little bit nerd but not very social, who walks with the look downward on his device without giving to the people what they would like from him: only a little bit of attention and enthusiasm. He loses his job, he is left by his wife and coincidentally he remains closed in the women's bathroom of the art-house cinema, together with the owner's small dog.
Three life-long friends struggle with an early middle-age crisis as they start to try to get a job for the first time. An ironic quest to avoid becoming an adult and accept responsibilities.
A former inspector of the SIAE, focusing everything on his cunning and stubbornness, tries to grab (even in fraudulent ways) all the televisions or private radios that come to hand; all to please a mysterious woman named Gilda.
La película retrata la Italia de los nuevos ricos... La Italia donde una vez la belleza fue de color moreno y pelo negro, y que ahora está invadida por las falsas rubias... En todos los sitios, salones, restaurantes, barcos, playas están llenos de falsas rubias y nos muestran su pseudo-cultura. Tratan desesperadamente de ser lo que no son y sus maneras ridículas y sus actitudes afectadas sólo muestran su enorme vulgaridad. Esta es la Italia de la segunda casa, de los teléfonos en el coche, de los fines de semana, de las criadas filipinas, de los nombres rimbombantes, incluso para perros falderos. Esta es la Italia en que ahora la cultura se aprende en las peluquerías... en resumen, esta película es un feroz retrato de la Italia que está perdiendo su ancestral cultura.
