Synopsis:
Paolo Riva suffers from an incurable addiction to lies. Once a successful pop singer, famous for his hit Spumante e cioccolatini, which he brought to the Sanremo Festival in 1984, he now lives forgotten on the margins of the music industry. Accompanied by his manager and best friend Tino, Paolo travels across small-town Italy, surviving thanks to village fairs and local festivals — the last remaining stage where his fading fame can still exist.
Paolo Riva è malato di menzogna. Un tempo cantante di musica leggera di grande successo, celebre per il brano Spumante e cioccolatini portato al Festival di Sanremo nel 1984, oggi vive nell’oblio dell’irrilevanza. Insieme al suo manager e migliore amico Tino, attraversa la provincia italiana, dove sagre e festicciole rappresentano ormai l’unico palcoscenico capace di garantirgli una fragile sopravvivenza artistica.
