Based on the homonymous story by Andrea Granchi in the form of a parodied biography, the film retraces and uses, on the edge of a marked and sometimes bitter irony, that heterogeneous accumulation of materials, documents, images and objects that represent a life starting from childhood. The key to the work lies in the inversion of the natural relationship of youth-old age, in the paroxysmal and comic-pathetic exorcising of 'passing time' and in the paradox of a reverse 'career' in which, in the name of conventional and deceptive ideals of success and health, the protagonist progressively loses pieces of himself, declines and transforms until the final rhetoric epilogue.
