This Italian comedy focuses on a hapless half-dozen actors once exploited by their friend Alessio (Alessandro Benvenuti) who used their experiences in his hit play, My Dearest Friends. However, since they weren't cast in the production, they didn't share in the play's success, and friendship quickly turned to hate. Now, 15 years later, the impoverished six arrive at a medieval castle where they've been invited by Alessio, who explains that he would like to make amends with a new performance in which they will portray themselves. As rehearsals get underway, so do various plans for revenge.
