SYNOPSIS
Gabriele, Marco and Nicola are three youngsters, living in Diamante, a small town in southern Italy, who would like to shoot a film. They interview an old lady who recalls the love of her life, a distant cousin of hers who has moved to America and whose return she is still waiting for. They think this a good plot for a film. Neri is a former film director who has shot one successful film and then has retired to Diamante. They ask in vain for his help and then decide to travel to Rome. There, Francesco, a friend of Neri's, unwillingly accommodates them and they end up getting involved in television show business rather than cinema. However, they meet Amelie, a French girl, who seems to be interested in their film idea and tells them she will mention it to Gerard, her fiancé, who actually turns out to be Gerard Depardieu.
