Lavoreremo da grandi poster

Three friends, Beppe, Umberto, and Gigi, await the arrival of young Toni to celebrate his newfound freedom. After an evening of heavy drinking at the village bar, the car they're about to drive home in hits something. Or rather, someone. Setting off a series of relentless bad decisions, the four flee and take refuge at Umberto's house. It will be a long night of plot twists, paradoxical and ridiculous situations, encounters and clashes between the protagonists and other improbable figures who populate that interminable day. Until the most unimaginable of solutions arrives at first light.
