Gianni, sessant'anni ben portati, è un uomo normale, ha una natura mite e un'immensa capacità di sopportazione. È al servizio di sua moglie che lavora e ha mille impegni, della figlia che adora, del fidanzato della figlia, giovane nullafacente. Un giorno, l'amico Alfonso gli fa aprire gli occhi: tutti i suoi coetanei, ma anche quelli ben più vecchi di lui, dietro la rispettabile facciata, hanno delle storie. Tutti hanno l'amante. Sconvolto dalla scoperta Gianni tenta di fare qualcosa. C'è Gabriella, irraggiungibile e desiderata per anni, c'è Valeria, il meraviglioso primo amore, la bellissima Cristina, badante della mamma, c'è la vicina di casa, incarnazione della bellezza e della giovinezza, ci sono le infinite donne possibili che abitano il mondo. Gianni, come un vecchio motore che si rimette in moto produce fracasso, fumo e poco arrosto.

The Salt of Life (2011)
90 min
Gianni is sixty. He is retired but has not become lazy for all that. In fact he is a helpful fellow who gives a hand to all those who need one: shopping for his wife, walking the pretty neighbor's dog, and so on. Everybody likes Gianni, but is it for the right reasons? Doesn't his wife profit by the situation (she still works so it is only logical that Gianni do all the chores)? Isn't he subject to the excruciating whims of his rich mother?... Sure, everybody LIKES Gianni, but who LOVES him? Agreed, being kind to them, he is the ladies pet, but he does not attract them anymore. That is why, when his macho lawyer friend Alfonso blames him for not having young mistresses "like every other senior Italian male", Gianni, who is beginning to ask himself questions about what it is like to become old, starts chasing dames.
