While locked up he tries to convince his son that the whole thing is just a game.

To his surprise, he ends up meeting the woman of his dreams in flesh at a conference of an Iraqi friend! He doesn't have a minute to lose to seduce her. But Vittoria seems inaccessible and then suddenly disappears. Attilo decides to search for her in despair... The actor/director previously won an Oscar for the holocaust comedy Life is Beautiful.
