Diego is a forty-something car salesman with a talent for telling half-truths. Fausto sells watches over the phone. Claudio manages (barely) his family-owned neighbourhood supermarket. What these three men have in common is their abject mediocrity. Together they embark on an ambitious project to run a holiday farmhouse outside of Naples, only to run into trouble from a local mobster. Suddenly their ordinary business becomes a quixotic act of defiance. A miraculous' Italian comedy that will delight and surprise readers, Alfa Romeo 1300 marks Fabio Bartolomei's debut.'
