What it is about

Carlobianchi and Doriano, two broke, heavy-drinking 50-somethings, get completely drunk on their way to meet an old friend. They cross paths with Giulio, a shy architecture graduate adrift in life. What starts as "one final drink" quickly spirals into a chaotic road trip across the Venetian plains. Packed with bad advice, reckless accidents, and brutal hangovers, this unexpected friendship threatens to throw the young man's future completely off track.
