His recent idea for creating an explicit homoerotic film titled La vita di Adelo has been rejected by producer Domenico Procacci.

One day, while going through the boxes from an old move, he finds a letter he received twenty years earlier when he was not yet famous and was drawing for a small publishing house.

Gipi feels he has a great story to tell and calls his friends—misanthropic Gero, hypochondriac musician Davide, and a cameraman who is never on camera and whose name no one ever remembers—to form a crew and shoot a documentary.

The film includes cameos of cartoonists Emiliano Mammucari, Giacomo Nanni, Laura Scarpa, Margherita Tramutoli, comic book editor and publisher Francesco Coniglio, and the band Campos.

The theatre ensemble "Sacchi di sabbia" (Giovanni Guerrieri, Gabriele Carli, Giulia Gallo, Vincenzo Illiano) plays the cavemen.
