Three comedic and intertwined episodes.
Alfredo Laudati
A wealthy broker, Federico Picchioni, within two days forfeits his partner and work, finishing well to living with two children and granddaughter (abandoned by her father). He is, at this point, in the face of many difficulties of adjustment but finds comfort in the help of his neighbor.
Giornalista (segment "Non è vero ma ci credo")
Junio Valerio Borghese
On December 12, 1969, a bomb kills 17 people and injures many more at a major national bank in Milan, marking the beginning of the Years of Lead. Local anarchists are scapegoated for the massacre by police and the media, but an investigator uncovers a larger subversive project made of far-right fringe groups, corrupt secret services, and other interests that seek to undermine democracy.
Bracconiere
Um vazamento no apartamento da Toscana do diretor Gianni arruinou o afresco do século 16 da capela ao lado. Para evitar ser processado, ele precisa aceitar a bizarra proposta do prefeito da cidade de dirigir as celebrações da Sexta-Feira Santa.
Tecnico TV
Director Maurizio Nichetti is invited on TV to introduce a screening of his neo-realist classic 'The Icicle Thief'. He is horrified to discover that his black-and-white tale of life in poverty is constantly interrupted by garish color commercials, and even more horrified when a power cut in the studio causes film and commercials to mix up – a glamorous model finds herself in the arms of an unemployed pauper, while his wife finds herself in consumers' heaven. Nichetti has to break into the film to try to sort everything out.
