This short documentary explores the world of Italian photo comics (fumetti), focusing on the models who posed as romantic heroes and heroines for popular illustrated stories. By contrasting their staged screen personas with their everyday lives, the film offers an observational look at a mass-culture phenomenon in postwar Italy.
