However, a dramatic change is triggered when parish priest Father Boschin (Claudio Bigagli), requests he hire Amedeo as his driver. A man with a turbulent past, Amedeo bursts into Pio’s life with exuberance and the situation quickly goes awry. While Pio’s family want Amadeo fired, Pio is inspired by Amedeo’s confidence and soon begins to question his entire existence and embark on a new life path with hilarious results.
An entertaining journey through an Italy full of surprises, Life’s a Beach is a laugh-out-loud adventure and local box office hit that screened in Italian cinemas for eight weeks.
