Gaetano and Gennaro Tavani are two brothers on the threshold of fifty, they are nine months apart from each other. The first, Gaetano, has little acting experience behind him, while the second, Gennaro, has written some screenplays in the past and directed some small films as a director. Together they opened a "cinematic" production company, Tavani Brass, mainly dealing with small commercials, pre-eighteenth birthday videos and weddings. Their dream is to be able to make a successful film. Given Checco Zalone's exploits, the two propose to an unknown Neapolitan singer, Chicco Resina, to create a product capable of intercepting the success of the blockbuster film in Italy.
