The San Diego Italian Film Festival presents "Noi e la Giulia."
Diego is a car salesman struggling to achieve satisfactory levels of customer service; he is challenged by his dying father to do something other than be a wimp. Claudio, an overweight shopkeeper, has incompetently destroyed his family business, causing his wife to leave him. Fausto is the flashy TV salesman: a known fraudster, racist, and generally a bit of a failed cad, his debts creep up on him so dangerously that he needs to flee. The three men all go to look at a decrepit farmhouse which has been abandoned rather suddenly by the family trying to run it. They agree to try collaborating, and running a joint enterprise. Incompetence looks set to reign, but then Fausto?s main creditor, Sergio, tracks him down and demands payment. Fausto has no money, so offers him a share in the partnership. When the Camorra (local version of the Mafia) turn up, Sergio stands up for workers? rights and leads this unlikely tribe to survive.
The film is shown in Italian with English subtitles
