Synopsis

Recently retired Gianni (Gianni Di Gregorio) is settling down to becoming a house husband but romance is not one of them.

He lives with his wife and daughter in a small apartment in Rome. His days slip by walking his and his gorgeous neighbour’s dogs, picking up cleaning and groceries, paying the bills and being taken for granted by his daughter and her lazy, unemployed boyfriend, who seems to have moved in. While his elderly mother, Valeria, lives with her pretty care worker Cristina in a huge villa but is constantly draining his energy with her constant demands.
Image his surprise when his good friend Alfonso tells him about his most recent sexual escapades. Gianni has completely failed to notice that his contemporaries are all taking a second bite of the cherry! Alfonso decides Gianni should take action, reinvigorate his life and get himself a girlfriend...
