Gole Ruggenti
In the run-up to a song festival, all kinds of intrigues and pressures are unleashed behind the scenes: the script must be continually adapted depending on who momentarily prevails in the backroom maneuvers, with record companies, politicians and schemers of various calibers intent on fighting each other without holds barred to grab victory in advance. In the meantime, the organization is falling apart. Having recruited the almost complete Bagaglino cast, under the parody of Sanremo we see yet another rehash of "Champagne" or "Bucce di banana".
