It starts with showing Sergio and Nadia preparing themselves to go out (first shot is at his feet being washed and dried). Only Sergio is with Rossella, while Nadia is with a guy that doesn’t want her to find a job for herself.
Both Sergio and Nadia show up for the same job. They both go door to door selling contracts, she does really well, he doesn’t. When he learns how good she is, he asks her to help him, to show him how it’s done.
She was supposed to speak with Mr Fantoni, to sell him a contract, so he goes there to meet her, but after a long wait she still isn’t there, so he goes in by himself. Nadia was busy buying tickets for Dalla’s concert.
Sergio enters his apartment and there’s a woman who for no reason whatsoever has him see her in the nude, completely, front and back.
Sergio and Manuel talk a lot, then the guy is arrested, his real name is Cuticchia, so Sergio is left there to tidy up and leave. Sergio takes a look around, tries on some of his clothes, tries to talk like him. When Nadia arrives, Sergio continues the charade, pretending to be Manuel Fantoni.
Later he tries to break things up, inventing a trip abroad, but he likes her so he goes to her house intending to come clean and tell her everything, but there are all her friends so he goes back to be Manuel, but runs away when his girlfriend comes looking for Sergio.
He keeps seeing her as Manuel, inventing lots of stories of things he’s done, places he’s been, people he’s met. He even pretends to know Lucio Dalla, so he pretends his bike is broken to make her miss the concert. He keeps up the pretence, and when they get there, he leaves her new song in his roulotte.
He visits Manuel in prison for advice, and has permission to take her to his house. He does, but tired of waiting for Sergio to show up, Rossella’s father went to his friend Marcello and got the truth out of him, so he barged into the apartment, revealing everything. Nadia goes out and cries while driving, so she has an accident. Sergio goes to the hospital, but she never wants to see him again.
Nadia marries Cristiano, they open a bar together. Sergio marries Rossella, and now they have a baby boy together.
Nadia calls Sergio under another name, to see him again and talk, and then they kiss.
Sergio - Carlo Verdone
All the other actors are known, but I don’t remember their name and Italian movies do not have the cast in the ending credits. Absurd, I know.
Ah, Marcello is Christian De Sica, and for whatever reason he spoke with an unnatural accent, as if he was Sicilian or something.
