Plot

Bernardo, a Roman music journalist living in Milan, is dumped by his girlfriend (almost fiancé), and, extremely depressed, begins working with a therapist, Prof. Altieri. His career as a rock music critic begins to decline, and he cannot find a way to publish a book on the life secrets of Jimi Hendrix. In the meantime, he meets the neurotic Camilla, who is both a patient and a wannabe lover of Altieri's, with whom she's obsessed. From that point on, Camilla disrupts Bernardo's life, but becomes his best friend. After a huge fight, the two lose contact. They separately travel to London, where Camilla is a theatre actress and Bernardo is working on Hendrix's biography, interviewing people who might have known the rock star. They meet again, apologizing to one another, only to have their personal and professional lives disrupted again. One night, at Land's End in Cornwall, Bernardo and Camilla get intimately close, enraging Camilla's latest boyfriend (her theatre production's director), with whom she was not happy anyway. Camilla secretly sells a precious ring to fund Bernardo's interview with an important source for his book. Later on though, she messes up the recording of the interview... The ending is very romantic, unlike the ending of most of Verdone's movies.
