In 1920 Luigi Pirandello is in Sicily to give a speech in honor of his friend Giovanni Verga. As soon as he arrives, he discovers that his nursemaid of youth has just passed away, and he arranges to give her a proper burial. Pirandello meets two gravediggers who are theater enthusiasts and are finalizing preparations for a drama written by them. The two wacky fellows will eventually influence the writer in the writing of his play Six Characters in Search of an Author.
The film also features two interesting nude scenes. The first, played by Tiziana Lodato, beautiful as a goddess, takes place between a mirror and a bed in a room. The second shows us Donatella Finocchiaro naked, sitting in the courtyard.
