The “meaning of life” is narrated by Eros Puglielli in his distinctive style with odd mishaps, and bizarre characters whose paths cross and diverge. Giovanna is a rather unattractive philosophy student, who is madly in love with one of her teachers, Professor Perotti. She invites her handicapped uncle to stay at her out-of-town student apartment and he tells her he has been miraculously saved by “a mysterious man of light” who “stopped time” to sweep him away from a speeding train. His rescuer is plunged into an existential crisis triggered by the rescue itself. Each of the characters will then follow his or her separate paths in search of happiness, invariably losing their way, and eventually deviating from their original goals. Eros Puglielli (and co-writer Gabriella Blasi) take near-sadistic glee in frustrating every journey, every outing, and every landing. Nietschian solutions for the crackpot who believes in the existence of extraterrestrials (but lands on his feet to eventually become a cook), Zen enlightenment for the holy man worshipper who has seen the light but has not acquired strength, and nothing less than a “black Sabbath” for Giovanna who is proud of her discipline of rational thought. These are the solutions waiting to ambush for the heroes. From the very beginning the film effectively captures moments of mad cap hilarity.
