An Italian village by the sea in 1949. Marcello,
the son of a poor fishermen, dreams of the beautiful Elaina
Gamboccini, the village beauty. But
he knows that his chances of getting her first date, when up against
Armond, the son and heir of the Cessero Ice cream chain, to be very
slim. Nevertheless, a small chance remains. Marcello,
following the village tradition - The father of every sixteen year old
girl is presented with a gift, which, if accepted, will win his
daughter’s hand on her first date – remembers the cockerel,
owned by the village butcher that wakes Mr.
Gamboccini every morning. If he
could only obtain that bird, the chance of the first date with Elaina,
he believes, would be set in stone. But how can he obtain a cockerel
that no one wants to sell and, that anyway, he could never afford?
