A virtually plotless, gaudy, impressionistic portrait of Rome through the eyes of one of its most famous citizens.
The frustrating adventures of a humble employee who all the time has to fullfill the wishes and desires of his bosses.
Bruno Fioretti, known as "Mandrake", is an inveterate gambler who never misses a day at the horse racing track in Rome. He is doubly unlucky: he bets too much on one horse, and his wife is sleeping with his best friend because Mandrake is always at the track. Penniless and cuckolded, Mandrake decides to make one last bet.
