The story of a teenager whose biggest dream is to marry Simon Le Bon, singer of pop band Duran Duran.

In an alternation of stories from the past and present of Marco Mazzoli, radio DJ and creator of Lo Zoo di 105 (one of the most followed radio programs in Italy), we relive what symbolizes the great adventure of life: an adventure made of victories but also of many bitternesses and defeats. Episodes of lost and then found loves, friendships that began and then ended, betrayals, thefts, dismissals, complaints and many humiliations follow one another, but in the end, they lead to the fulfillment of a dream, what everyone seeks: their own personal fulfillment.

Companion piece to Jovanotti's 1997 seventh studio album 'Lorenzo 1997: L'albero'. “The movie tells a story starting from the end, when the long-awaited L'ALBERO is finally done and we realize we made the PERFECT, DEFINITIVE RECORD! But a lightning destroys the hard disk it was stored on, there's no backup and we have the record company knocking at the door for the master tapes. My band and I then agree to the only possible thing: to redo the album in a very short time by facing an initiatory, esoteric, ramshackle, crazy, mystical, chivalrous, demented journey from which the album we all know will emerge, which is not the PERFECT RECORD... but comes from that idea.” — Jovanotti

Giulio is a widower, struggling to raise three sons, Marco, Rudi, and Mimmo, as best he can. He lives in Rome's working-class Garbatella neighborhood and runs a wine shop with his two brothers. Lucia, meanwhile, comes from Milan's middle-class background; she's divorced and trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, Eva and Alice. The two meet by chance and recognize each other: they had a fling as teenagers, many years earlier. Yet first love is never forgotten, and so Giulio and Lucia find themselves together again. Their meeting, however, changes not only the lives of a man and a woman, but also those of two families as different as could be. Two families who find themselves living under the same roof without even having had the time to get to know each other well.
