Synopsis
16 year old Andrea skips summer camp which he is supposed to attend whilst his parents are away on holiday because he wants to use the opportunity presented by his parents' absence from home to invite over, and lose his virginity to, Eva, a girl he met at school. So far, a standard teen sex comedy. However, there is the problem of what to do with his Michael Jackson obsessed younger brother Tommaso, who always goes out wearing a mask like that worn by Michael Jackson's children, and, when indoors, seems to have an aversion to wearing anything other than a pair of underpants. Andrea's plan to leave him with an elderly man named Cesare goes awry when Tommaso returns with the old man, who now seems to think he's the boy's actual grandfather (and who also has a penchant for nudism). As Tommaso becomes fond of his new 'grandfather',  Andrea still seeks to lose his virginity to Eva, and finds himself having to tackle a number of challenges, including dealing with his younger sibling's juvenile erection when Tommaso pops several of Cesare's Viagra pills under the impression that they are 'sweets'.
