Synopsis:

Rejected yet another request for funding, Giulio and Vincenzo, two thirty-year-old screenwriters, decide to write an ad hoc short film to win the Nastro d’Oro. To pity the public Vincenzo, proposes as the protagonist his cousin Corradino a boy in a wheelchair, who can communicate only through a computerized voice. Corradino will accept but on one condition: he must also be the director of the opera. The two screenwriters will also be obliged to include in the cast a well-known Italian actor who likes the “system”, as a fundamental pawn to obtain funding from the ministry. The work convinces critics and audiences, winning the coveted prize. But the new director, against any fake do-gooders, will take advantage of it by forcing the two screenwriters to get off the winners’ wagon.
