Plot

Guia is young, very beautiful and a journalist who runs a fashion magazine between Milan and Paris. Working with her are her opportunistic partner Marco and her trusted collaborator Carola. When Guia's father dies, she inherits an old farm in Puglia. So she decides to go to the farm to sell this unusual inheritance for her, who is actually a snobbish and cynical woman. But it will prove to be not so simple, succeeding in the task of getting rid of it. Around the farm she will cross paths with many characteristic personalities: her cousin Pino (a great Neri Marcorè), an intellectually disabled man who in the end turns out to be the wisest of all; the farm's farmer Renzo who raises the child Toni; the two competing bartenders Felice and Delfo with their helper Mara, a disenchanted romantic always looking for love on the net but in a faraway country; Rosario, a butcher and real estate agent. Will Guia together with the trusty Carola and Mara herself manage to fool their temperament and their mistaken certainties and fall in love?
