The Legendary Giulia and Other Miracles

Diego, Fausto and Claudio cross paths by chance while surveying a countryside farmhouse they might refurbish and run together. Each man is disillusioned by his own life: Diego unsettled by his father's death, Fausto burdened by debt and routine, Claudio facing a collapsing family business and a pending divorce. They decide to join forces, hoping the project will give them a new lease on life.

Sergio, Fausto's creditor and a militant communist, becomes part of the venture. His addition brings a political edge and complex loyalties to the plan. The quartet of Diego, Fausto, Claudio, and Sergio begins to drift toward something more risky than a simple renovation.

Elisa, a pregnant young woman, is brought in by Claudio to help with cleaning and cooking, bringing a new dynamic to the makeshift family. Abu, a Ghanaian laborer, also joins the project as a practical aide. Their inclusion widens the circle and deepens the sense of shared purpose around the renovation.

A dangerous visitor arrives: Vito, a Camorra figure driving an Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300, comes to reclaim a debt he believes is owed to him. The encounter instantly raises the stakes and injects an undercurrent of violence into the unfolding plan. The four partners must decide how to handle this risk as work continues.

In a heated moment, Sergio lands a punch, and the group resolves to seize the car for themselves. They haul the vehicle into the farmhouse basement, effectively hiding it away. The car's physical disappearance marks a turning point from renovation to criminal enterprise.

With the car concealed, they discover the stereo is broken and the keys remain inside the vehicle. The situation deepens as they improvise ways to keep the car off others' radar. To explain the odd muffled sounds emanating from the cellar, Diego spins a legend about a buried car and its mysterious music.

Two more men arrive hoping to claim the car, only to encounter the same fate as Vito. The group tightens its control, expanding the web of deception around the hidden vehicle. The escalating tension pushes them deeper into the criminal dynamic.

Vito's superior shows up with a thug to demand the car's return. The thug returns a few days later to collect, but is seized by the group instead. The confrontation confirms that the car has become the center of a dangerous standoff.

Using luck and cunning, the four Camorra-linked men manage to corral the four partners inside the cellar. The sense of danger peaks as the situation becomes a standoff with a potential break for violence. The hidden car remains both a symbol and a tangible prize.

The standoff culminates in a daring escape when Vito allows the partners to leave aboard his own Alfa Romeo Giulia. The car is only partially unearthed, thanks to Abu and his friends’ intervention outside. The escape ties together themes of loyalty, risk, and the high price of ambition.

What began as a routine refurbishment spirals into a darkly comic meditation on ambition and loyalty. The event reveals how desperate choices pull ordinary people into a web of crime. The film tensions between humor and danger linger in the aftermath.

The narrative closes with an uneasy sense of what the characters have become and what remains unresolved. Dreams, loyalties, and risks have collided, leaving a cautionary note about how quickly a simple project can entangle people in crime.
