Chaotic Italian energy'90s excess satireTacky but self-aware

Overview

Comedy

In the Tiber sports club, Alberto, a ruthless property developer, the cynical surgeon who makes thirty million dollars after a prostate operation, the actor exhausted by failure and the failed salesman who sells caviar by discounting prices and who tries to make up for continuous overdrafts in the bank, meet. There is also the starlet with a Venetian accent and the hateful scion with a Ferrari, the waiter who dreams of being the scion and the jeweler who loses his house, wife and wealth because of the hot Spanish woman.
