All the things that remain
In a hidden corner of Cinecittà there is a magical place that no one knows about and that was about to disappear. It is STUDIO EL founded in 1983 by Ettore Scola and Luciano Ricceri. A creative space, a sort of Renaissance workshop, a factory. A place where the two great friends prepared their great films in Cinecittà, but where they gave the opportunity to many young people to grow and improve their professionalism. After the passing of Ettore Scola and Luciano Ricceri, time at Studio E.L stopped along with many objects that are the memory of almost 40 years of history of our cinema. Before Studio EL closes forever, becoming a museum space inside Cinecittà, we would like to give the objects it contains the value they deserve and tell their stories.

When he proposes, she runs, but he traces her to Rome, where he finds she's actually the multi-titled rebellious daughter of impoverished prince and count Vibaldo D'Arcadia and his snobbish silver spoon wife Gioia, who inhabit a stunning but slowly derelict renaissance palace. When Max asks for her hand, she hastily accepts, and after getting the matriarchal blessing of the countess-mother Donna Costanza, Max invites his parents, egalitarian dentist Walter Hauser and wine merchant Eva and Zahnarzt to attend his socialite wedding. Max is not amused to find his father cornered by his mistress, flight attendant Xenia who demands Waleter's divorce, a secret they will painfully fail to keep under control, yet the parents refuse to spoil their son's wedding, but the palatial maid gets wind of half the story and confides into the ...

L'ultimo Crodino
Ambientato in Val di Susa e tratto da un fatto di cronaca realmente accaduto, il film narra le vicende di due onesti lavoratori che, assillati dai debiti e dall'ansia per il futuro, decidono di provare il colpo della vita. I due organizzano dunque un rapimento, ma non avendo il coraggio di rapire una persona viva, decidono di rapire un morto, ma uno importante, per poter chiedere il riscatto. Ed è così che un operaio, soprannominato Pes (Enzo Iacchetti) e un piccolo imprenditore, soprannominato Crodino (Ricky Tognazzi) si trovano a trafugare la salma di Enrico Cuccia, noto finanziere. Pur nella loro ingenuità e totale inesperienza, i due riescono, senza neanche rendersene conto, a tenere in scacco per giorni le forze dell'ordine e a scomodare perfino i servizi segreti.
