The recently retired Gianni has many things to worry about, but romance is not one of them. At least not until his friend Alfonso decides to reacquaint him with the “salt of life”. But poor Gianni is like an old, rusty car: the engine might still be rolling, but more is needed to get him back on the road… Director-actor Gianni Di Gregorio convincingly plays the lead in this autobiographically tinted, bittersweet, sparkling comedy. Italian spoken.
