Vessato da una figlia svagata, una moglie remota e una mamma esagerata, da diversi anni versa in una baby pensione e dentro un quotidiano rassegnato. A piedi o a bordo della sua desueta Alfa 164, Gianni trascina se stesso per la capitale e trova sempre una bottiglia per dimenticarsi. Incoraggiato da un amico avvocato e risvegliato da bionde badanti, vicine mondane, primi amori, gemelle intriganti, l'uomo prova a scuotersi dal torpore, a emanciparsi dall'ingombrante figura materna e a procurarsi un amante che rinverdisca la sua età. Respinte le sue avance indolenti, Gianni prenderà coscienza dei suoi tanti anni (Mymovies)."@it . . . . . . . . "In The Salt of Life, Gianni Di Gregorio plays a middle-aged retiree who has become invisible to all distaff Romans, regardless of age or relation. He contends with an aristocratic, spendthrift mother; a wife who is more patronizing friend than romantic partner; a wild young neighbor who sees him merely as her dog walker. Gianni tries his polite, utterly gracious best to generate some kind of love life-with both hilarious and poignant results." . . . . . "Salt of life" . . . . . "Motion pictures" . . . . . . . . "\"Gianni, a recently retired house husband, has many things to worry about, but romance is not one of them. He lives with his wife and daughter in a small apartment in Rome. His days slip by walking his and his gorgeous neighbour's dogs, picking up cleaning and groceries, paying the bills under his wife's strict instructions, and being taken for granted by his daughter and her lazy, unemployed boyfriend, who seems to have moved in. His ancient mother, the aristocratically coiffed Valeria, a relic from a more glamorous era, lives with her pretty careworker Cristina in a huge villa. From her crumbling HQ, Valeria is swiftly draining Gianni's resources on poker, repairs and expensive champagne, and thinks nothing of making him cross town to fix the reception on her television. One morning, his good friend Alfonso tells an astonished Gianni about his most recent sexual escapades. Somehow Gianni has completely failed to notice that his contemporaries are all taking a second bite of the cherry! Even old Maurizio who always wears a tracksuit has a younger lover. Alfonso decides Gianni should take action, reinvigorate his life and get himself a girlfriend. But, despite his best efforts with some old female acquaintances interrupted by an endless stream of calls from his demanding mother and a dose of Viagra, poor old Gianni is like a rusty old motor. The spark is ignited but it is going to take a long time to get him back on the road to romance ...\"--Artificial Eye Web site." . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Feature films" . . .
