Checco is born on the privileged side of life in an Italian small town, with a guaranteed job as a public servant. When a new reformist government vows to cut down on bureaucracy, Checco is forced to accept worsening conditions.

 This Wednesday we will be having an important Special General Meeting immediately after the Aperitivo, but it should only take about 5-10 minutes at the most, so the film will start slightly later.
