Bruno Bonomo (Silvio Orlando) was a famous producer of B-movies in the 1970s; after a long hiatus following the commercial fiasco of "Cataratte", Bonomo will be signed by RAI to produce a film about Cristoforo Colombo's homecoming. When director Franco Caspio (Giuliano Montaldo) quits the project, Bonomo is forced to offer another screenplay to RAI, which is "Il Caimano" a screenplay he stumbled upon, written by young director Teresa (Jasmine Trinca). The film-in-the-film is centered on the figure of Italy's Prime Minister and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi, a subject so controversial that even the public television refuse to produce it. While Bonomo's private life collapses piece by piece, as he's divorcing his wife (Margherita Buy), and the bank is pressing him hard to pay back his long-standing debts, he finds out that struggling to get this movie filmed is the only thing that keeps him alive.
