Marco Donati is a young man who studies the behavior of fish. He is terminally ill, with an obsessive mother and a girlfriend. While dragging himself lethargically from one party to another in Rome’s tony neighborhoods, Marco plunges into an endless adventure, like a fearless knight, in an India that seems like a masterpiece made by a mad counterfeiter. Road movies, videogames, quiz show questions at crucial moments, crazy extreme sports and much more, all Ammaniti blended together in a “sandwich full of baccala, broccoli, mayonnaise and curried onions”.
