Filippo is a star on the Italian TV. He works for a documentary series about wild animals and nature. He is sent to Tenerife (Spain) to shot an issue about the local stork. It is the 13th of August. After he did his job is time to leave, but the ferry couldn't operate. He has to spend the night in the island. The day after is again the 13th of August, and Filippo live again the same day for different times. Something has to change to exit the paranoid and unrealistic situation.
Acting
Albanese's committed buffoonery sells the unlikable protagonist.
Writing
Loops escalate absurdly without repeating the same joke twice.
Director
Giulio Manfredonia
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a weird 2000s European micro-genre: Italy made this, France had 'Le Jour de la Marmotte,' all chasing Groundhog Day's shadow.
The 13th of August setting is Ferragosto—Italy's biggest summer holiday, when everything shuts down. Filippo's trapped on a day literally designed for doing nothing.
