Seasons
1. My first day
An aspiring director arrives on set for his first day and is faced with staffing issues, creative disagreements, and self-centered actors.

Sergio forces Alessandro to sign documents that strip him of all his rights, and the excellent performance of a stage actor casts the cast in a bad light.

One of the actors in the cast looks nothing like the photograph released by his agency and a Peruvian boy tries to sneak in among the extras.

To impress a director friend, René shoots the day's scenes with a steadycam, meanwhile Biascica asks Alessandro for advice on love matters.
5. A+B=C
The network hopes to boost ratings with a new character's raunchy jokes, just when Corinna may be forced to leave the series.
6. Like Lars von Trier
While a fan visit creates tension on the set, René directs Stanis and Corinna in an awkward nude scene.
7. When a man feels the end
During some night scenes, the cast ended up getting drunk on the limoncello sent by the network director, causing several problems during filming.

Alfredo replaces René, who is struggling with gastric problems, while Stanis' father takes advantage of his son's fame to get a part.

While René is in Milan to introduce some actors to an advertising agency, the assistant director and the director of photography swap roles.
