Nanni Moretti directs himself playing himself in this wry look at life. Presented in three chapters, Moretti uses the experiences of traveling on his motor-scooter, cruising with his friend around a set of remote islands in search of peace to finish his new film and consulting doctor after doctor to cure his annoying rash to cast a humorous look at his life and those around him. The first episode follows the main character riding a Vespa through the neighbourhoods of a summery and half-deserted Rome. In the second episode Nanni leaving the frenzy of city life goes on a journey through the Aeolian Islands visiting his friend Gerardo on the island of Lipari. The final episode narrates the difficult diagnosis of a disease that affected Moretti in real life. The episode concludes with a bitter and sarcastic toast alla salute! (To health!), accompanied by a glass of water.
