An old, presumably ignorant, Southern Italian peasant unwittingly unleashes a unique and artistic talent from within himself which uproots him from his dull rustic routine and sets him on the road to global renown. On his often baffling journey into the world of celebrity his life fills with new experiences, people and, finally, love. But this is more than just a story of how he, Giovanni, copes with a world that had previously been completely alien to him. It is also a comment on our attitudes to religion, love, relationships and sexuality.
