Youth is now a memory and he Gianni (Gianni Di Gregorio , star and director of the film) looks in the mirror arranging the bags under his eyes, wearing new clothes and natural nell'incedere class tries to deal with them so problematic in his relationship with women in a distant reminiscence of ancient times.
Gianni, women are only a slave of his wife who works and never has time to devote to him, even sleeping in separate rooms, one step away from her daughter's final exams, becoming embroiled in an affair with a not-that-nothing he finished the day and night in the house, the girl who lives downstairs, young, sensual and exuberant, she lives with a platonic love for each other, the nonagenarian mother, a noblewoman fallen, disappointed by a son too passive with carers and friends overpaid poker-mates treated like queens.

And finally rips the smile of those who follow him and watch, because it is a comedy that offers big laughs, but smiles, yes, you get into sympathy with this man without any great quality, a victim of the frenzy that surrounds him, because he man other times capable of defending well, favors, not screaming and never accept that the world is mocking fun of him. Self-ironic and sad, a mix between Allen and Moretti.
