A lighthearted Italian sex comedy about an immature man's romantic pursuit, driven by irreverent humor and romantic entanglement rather than depth or tension.

Red-haired, sex-obsessed manchild Lucio lazes all day long with his friend Pino until he falls for the beautiful head of the local loony bin.
