Misadventures of Colombo, an engineer in Milano. He is the only winner of an admission test for a job, and just for this reason he isn't hired. So he becomes a barman, and he discovers a special formula that turns simple water into the "Immortality drink". He is robbed of the magic water copyright. So he tries to set up a theatrical company, but the first show is a fiasco. Since finding a normal job seems a mission impossible, he tries to set the sentimental side of his life. He targets the most beautiful girl of his building, and for her he builds a robot able to dance like Tony Manero (John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever (1977)). The robot gets drunk (!). It is another fiasco. So he targets an ugly girl and finally with her succeeds to live his surreal world for ever.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Dimitris Katsouropoulos I just want to express my disappointment in that a DVD version can't be found in order to enjoy this excellent piece of film. It's an Italian movie worth every minute of it. If you come across it don't bypass it.
camel-9 hiding his mouth under a thick moustache, Nichetti uses visual expressions, body language, gestures, music, and film editing to convey the message. Very little words are spoken. A hilarious movie that is shot in the surroundings of Turin, it displays the intense creativity of a young Nichetti.
