Synopsis:

In the midst of the financial crisis, Checco succeeds as a salesman, but it's his relatives that are buying the products he promotes (vacuum cleaners). When he runs out of relatives to sell to, things start to fall apart and that gets him in trouble with his wife, who has recently become unemployed after the factory where she worked shuts down. Desiring to keep his super-DAD hero status in the eyes of his son, Checco gets himself in quite a situation after he makes his son a promise that he could hardly keep: he'll give Nicolo a dream vacation if the boy finishes school with glaring grades. When the boy earns great grades (which his father believed to be unachievable), Checco has a promise to keep. And so father and son embark on an adventurous journey, which is as joyful for them (well not always joyful) as for the viewer.

The action is set in modern Italy, right in the middle of the Economic Crisis that has affected everyone in Europe. Well- not everyone - an exception being the 36-year-old optimist Checco (played by the Italian comic Checco Zalone): 'Aspiration is everything!' We get to form our sense of his personality thanks to the impressions of his son Nicolo (Robert Dancs) - a ten-year-old kid from whose view point we experience the majority of happenings in the film. As Nicolo describes his father: 'Papa's name is Checco. He's 36 and……from the South. Tall……handsome, cool, muscular……he's NOT. But he's really nice and likeable.'

The story of a father and a son. An on the road trip from South to North.
