Parte prima Rome, eighties. The film begins with scenes depicting Moana Pozzi (Violent Placido) under the shower, traumatized and dirty with blood, which recalls, in a state of shock, some episodes of his childhood when, for example, together with sister Mima he did Sub diving with his father or a time when he dances inappropriately in front of a man at a party, triggering his mother's wrath. After that, the narrative stabilizes for a while by showing us a young Moana who goes to a screening for a movie bringing a dream extract from William Shakespeare's mid-summer night. The filmmakers are impressed by the beauty of the girl who does not, however, accompany an equally excellent recitative talent. |

Parte seconda Moana and Antonio leave for the United States and secretly enter the wedding. When they returned to Rome, the newlyweds received the surprise visit of Mima (Elena Bouryka), Moana's younger sister, who decided to move from the couple so that Moana found her a job at the Diva Futura. Riccardo then convinces Moana and Antonio to keep their wedding secret as it would damage the image of Moana, which he said would have to remain the wish of all the Italians. Meanwhile, Moana is approached by Bruno Colella (Francesco Borchi), an aspiring director who offers the woman the chance to recite in an author's film, but, precisely because of the director's intention to have Moana in the cast, no one decides to fund the film. |
