A lighthearted Italian comedy about rural peasants seduced by Rome's glamorous pleasures, balancing satire of urban excess with affection for its bumbling protagonists.

Antonio goes to Rome to represent his fellow peasants, to request a highway that will be built in their region. But the guy is mastered by 'la dolce vita' and wastes the money entrusted to him for his mission. When Peppino is sent to to find out what happened, he lets himself be trapped by the gentle grip of 'la dolce vita'
