Carlo's public image is that of a generous and always available man. To those who ask him for selfies on the street or autographs at service stations, Carlo never refuses. The price of this constant spotlight is an extremely frugal private life, marked by the same rhythms, almost like a prison. Or a comedy. "Vita da Carlo" is the 10-episode comedy series in which Verdone plays Carlo, revealing for the first time his innermost self, made up of a small circle of acquaintances, each more bizarre than the last. There's also love, for a pharmacist, which blossoms—coincidentally—in a place very dear to him: the neighborhood pharmacy. But when the proposal to run for Mayor of Rome arrives, Carlo's life will take on even more comical and unpredictable twists.

For Carlo, a dream comes true: to shoot an auteur film, even if it means accepting compromises.

Carlo Verdone, a beloved Italian actor, faces the challenge of running for mayor of Rome. Yet his dream is to make an auteur film, even at the cost of facing personal and professional challenges, often sacrificing himself to please others.
