In the small Abruzzo village of Acitrullo (Corvara, near Pescara) the inhabitants live a simple and monotonous life. Mayor Piero does not know how to change the monotony, but has a brilliant idea when the old Countess Ugalda Martiro In Cazzati dies, choked by the dinner. The mayor, with the complicity of his brother, makes the TV believe that it is a homicide, so that the village comes out of anonymity and becomes famous throughout Italy
