Synopsis

A barber is engaged to a manicurist working in the shop, but he grows jealous and picks a quarrel with one of the customers. Struck on the head he crashes into a radio playing a serial programme. Knocked unconscious he begins to have bizarre dreams about a deluge and a car transporter which functions as a Noah's Ark.

Production

The film was based on the homonymous radio broadcast by Pietro Garinei and Sandro Giovannini, broadcast for two seasons from 1949 to 1951. A theatrical magazine was also taken from the radio broadcast, staged for the first time at the Sistina Theater in Rome. The film was shot in the Titanus studios at the Farnesina.
