Luciano is a Neapolitan fishmonger who supplements his modest income by pulling off little scams together with his wife Maria. A likeable, entertaining guy, Luciano never misses an opportunity to perform for his customers and countless relatives. One day his family urge him to try out for Big Brother. In chasing this dream his perception of reality begins to change.
Convinced that he is assured a place on the next series, Luciano starts to behave as if he is already part of the television spectacle, alienating those closest to him in his madcap pursuit of fame. Remember the mantra: Never give up!
