This is 1962. Filmmaker Guido Anselmi is going through an artistic crisis. He does not think he will be able to make the film he has signed for. All he wants is to retreat into a world of his own, far from the public eye. All he wants is peace and what he gets is ... Pace, his producer, who keeps on pressurizing him into starting the shooting. Everybody will have recognized the plot of Federico Fellini's masterpiece Achteinhalb (1963). Marcello Mastroianni was Guido, Fellini's alter ego, already a star at the time, but nobody knew Pace, wonderfully interpreted by a fifty-three-year-old beginner, then starting a second life as a movie actor, Guido Alberti.
