Checco is a good guy from Polignano a Mare (Apulia), who loves music. He is ignorant and clumsy, and as a result is increasingly ridiculed. When his girlfriend dumps him, Checco decides to go and stay with his cousin in Milan, to seek his fortune in the music business. His cousin comes out as gay, while Checco falls in love with Marika, the daughter of an avid "leghista" (a sympathizer of the Lega Nord) from the separatist state "Padania", who hates Southern Italians.
