The film recounts failure in a fun and constructive way, often experienced as an indelible shame and almost never as a precious opportunity for growth.
Take an irascible dwarf whose surname is Piccolo, with an easy trigger and an immoderate passion for Pupo and his songs. Then add an undercover policeman whose surname is Doll who doesn't even dare to declare himself to the woman he is in love with and plays tough disguised as a pseudo-criminal. Then you end up with Silvano, a former drug addict in perennial religious mystical crisis, who steals from apartments to survive, only to leave holy cards to be forgiven for the pain caused.
Antonio and Giuseppe meet at the hospital, while awaiting the birth of their respective first children. The two leave together for a quick lunch, ending up involved against their will in an odyssey of amusing setbacks and bizarre characters.
Enzo Ghinazzi (born 11 September 1955), best known as Pupo (Italian for 'Little Baby') is an Italian singer, lyricist, television presenter, writer and voice actor. Enzo Ghinazzi was born in Ponticino, a frazione of Laterina Pergine Valdarno in the Tuscan province of Arezzo. His father was a mailman and his mother was a housewife, but they both cultivated interests in singing and acting. In 1975 he debuted as a singer-songwriter under the stage name Pupo with "Ti scriverò" ("I will write to you"). Pupo's first album release, Come sei bella ("You are so beautiful"), came in 1976. His second album, Gelato al cioccolato, was his first major success , containing the hit singles "Ciao" and "Gelato al cioccolato", written with Cristiano Malgioglio; the album was the artist's first of 11 gold records. In 1980 Pupo competed for the first time in the Sanremo Music Festival with the gold record winning song "Su di noi" ("Above us"): the song was included in his third album Più di prima ("More than before"), which was Pupo's best selling record and also included "Firenze Santa Maria Novella", a love letter to the city of Florence. In 1981 he wrote his first hit for another artist: "Sarà perché ti amo", sung by Ricchi e Poveri at the Sanremo Festival that year. Pupo competed again in the Festival in 1983 with "Cieli azzurri" ("Blue skies") and in 1984 with "Un amore grande" ("A big love"), written by Umberto Tozzi and Giancarlo Bigazzi. In 1986 he released the album Pupo in the USSR, a major success that sparked his fame in Eastern Europe. The following year he won the international children's song festival Zecchino d'Oro as the author of "Canzone amica" ("Friend song"). Pupo toured extensively on international stages, and in 1991 he released his first and to date only live album, Canada's Wonderland, recorded in Toronto. In 1992 he competed for the fourth time at the Sanremo Music Festival, this time under his birth name, with the spiritual "La mia preghiera" ("My prayer"). After spending some years out of the national spotlight (while maintaining a solid international fanbase) and then devoting himself to his television career, Pupo rose back to musical stardom with his consecutive appearances at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2009 and 2010. In 2007, the Dutch singer André Hazes covered his song "Forse" ("Maybe") with the title "Blijf bij mi" ("Stay with me"). In 2009 he competed with "L'opportunità" ("The opportunity"), singing alongside Paolo Belli and Youssou N'Dour, reaching the finals. The year after, he came second in the Festival singing "Italia amore mio [it]" with tenor Luca Canonici and Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, member of the former Italian royal family; in the "guest night" of the Festival, World Cup winning football coach Marcello Lippi was invited on stage. The song was a success with the audience, and the trio was considered the moral winner of the Festival. ... Source: Article "Enzo Ghinazzi" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
