Plot

Checco is a good guy from Polignano a Mare (Apulia), who loves music. He is ignorant and clumsy, and as a result is increasingly ridiculed. When his girlfriend Angela dumps him, Checco decides to go and stay with his cousin Alfredo in Milan, to seek his fortune in the music business. Alfredo lives with his boyfriend Manolo, but initially refuses to come out his family due to the latter's prejudice. After he reluctantly reveals his relationship to Checco, the musician falls in love with Marika, the daughter of an avid "leghista" (a sympathizer of the Lega Nord) from the separatist state "Padania", who hates Southern Italians.
