Transcription
Plot
Carlo Verdone plays three roles in three episodes joined together. In the first, the Roman hick Enzo organizes a trip to Poland for Ferragosto, hoping to ingratiate himself with the sexual favors of some beautiful Polish girl with the help of a generous supply of nylon stockings (in those years considered a luxury commodity in countries behind the Iron Curtain). In the second episode, the post-hippie Ruggero by some days in his native Rome, while at the traffic light distributing leaflets and asking for an offer of money for a new commune that his group is forming in Citta della Pieve, meets his father (Mario Brega) by chance, in the middle of traffic. His father believes that the guy has psychological problems, and so he asks the help of a priest, a teacher and a very problematic nephew. Mr. Mario then is going to change the mentality of the guy with the help of these wise people, in the hope that Ruggero and his girlfriend (who is also a flower child) find themselves the right way to live in a modern society. Finally the shy and awkward Leo find the love in a Spanish girl, but she gives him a lot of problems. In fact she is not alone and intends to recover an affair with her ex.
