The aliens are coming and the perplexities' of some listeners are spreading through the radio.

Even the coach of Cesena calcio will call concerned that the biggest clubs' in addition to foreign players on the market will also have access to the most talented aliens.

Thus' opens the story of Luca Bertacci, waiter at the palabingo; he will contact for the first time a prostitute who will receive him' in a sort of furniture factory where on each bed is visible the rate according to the client's profession (assessor 90 euros, waiter 25 euros).

The setting is rather surreal and bleak, and Luke who grew up in fear of women has huge relationship problems, while his father will start' a romance with the first extraterrestrial who came down to earth, who, after the initial enthusiasms will immediately understand' how it will end', greeting the earthling.

Luke has a close friend, Roberto, a transsexual and an undeclared love for his neighbor.

He will encounter the horror of his murdered friend and the terrible secret his father will reveal to him' about his mother allegedly guilty of abandoning him.

In an ironic-satirical saga about a tired, disillusioned and cruel Italy, only the alien will be the bearer of an illuminating revelation.

This is certainly a peculiar film, told in an absolutely original way, as essential as Gipi's cartoons and stories are about an Italy that makes respectability and hypocrisy the behavioral code of the average Italian that rather than terrestrial or extraterrestrial now seems extra-moral.
