English sample available

Ten-year-old Marco is head over heels in love. Daniela is the most beautiful little girl in the courtyard and every day he watches her from his balcony. He is wasting away from unrequited love but there is someone even angrier at home. The First Commandment of his father, Sergio, is, indeed, never to fall in love, because women are a waste of time.
Twenty years later, Marco is an actor, drives a British convertible, and hasn’t been in love for a long time. Then, one morning, he receives a phone call that changes everything: his father has had a stroke.
When he comes out of the coma, the old Sergio, the tough guy who was incapable of an affectionate gesture towards his children, or of telling his wife he loved her, has vanished. An alien has taken his place – unpredictable, crazy and as delightful as a newborn baby who has to learn everything about the human world from scratch. The new Sergio cannot read or write, but can dance, laugh and show his love. Is Marco still in time to learn a new lesson?
