El Manzoni tiene un récord absoluto: es el peor instituto de Italia. No sabiendo ya que medidas adoptar, el Director escucha la propuesta del Superintendente y decide llevar a cabo un último, extremo y arriesgado intento: reclutar a los peores profesores en activo seleccionados por un algoritmo del ministerio con la esperanza que donde han fracasado los mejores, puedan triunfar los peores.

Until the 1970s, Italian cinema dominated the international scene, even competing with Hollywood. Then, in just a few years, came its rapid decline, the flight of our greatest producers, a crisis among the best writer-directors, the collapse of production. But what are the true causes and circumstances of this decline? In an attempt to provide an answer to this question, Di Me Cosa Ne Sai strives to depict this great cultural change. Begun as a loving examination of Italian cinema, the film transformed into a docu-drama that alternates between interviews with the great names of the past and fragments of cultural and political life of the last 30 years. It is a travel diary that shows Italy from north to south, through movie theatres; television-addicted kids; Berlusconi and Fellini; shopping centers; TV news editors; stories of impassioned film exhibitors and directors who fight for their films; and interviews with itinerant projectionists and great European directors.

Ensayo cinematográfico en defensa de los Derechos Morales de los cineastas frente a las manipulaciones que sufren las películas desde los orígenes del cine hasta hoy. Incluye fragmentos de importantes películas, como una escena en la que Felipe II (1559-1598) recorta una pintura de Tiziano porque no cabía en el espacio que le había reservado en El Escorial. Con esta acción el Rey de España se convirtió en el inventor del panning-scanning que en nuestra época altera el formato original de las películas. Este ensayo documental tiene su continuación en "Cineastas en acción", también del año 2005. (FILMAFFINITY)

Having recently earned his college degree, Lorenzo Primavera (Eddie Malavarca) leaves his home in Boston to travel to his family's ancestral homeland in Italy -- as was requested by his late grandfather. Upon arriving, Lorenzo is offered a short-term position as coach for an American-style football team by the team's manager, Giulio Fellini (Maurizio Nichetti). As the young American immerses himself in his new duties, he makes the acquaintance of Paola Angelini (Violante Placido) and the two begin a friendship that quickly blossoms into something more. In between spending time with Paola and working with the team, Lorenzo also begins investigating his own family's history and learns the reason for his grandfather's departure from Italy, as well as why his grandfather never returned to visit. As Lorenzo begins to forge an identity for himself in Italy -- not to mention strong romantic attachments to Paola -- he must eventually decide whether or not to return to the States.
