"Bright lights. Awards and film festivals. Glittering premieres." It's never been that kind of life for Max Pellegrino, a little-known Italian actor who plies his trade in the dubbing industry and secretly pines for a film career that has never been realised. But when one of the Hollywood stars he voices arrives in the Eternal City to shoot his new film at Cinecitta studios, Max finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the limelight and glare of publicity on both sides of the Atlantic. He gets a shot at stardom, a chance to experience what Hollywood on the Tiber is truly like. Can Max pull off this one-time-only shot at fame and fortune? Or will his dreams be dashed at the moment he comes closest to them? Will he have no more than his fifteen minutes of fame?
