The 2008 Italian Film Festival

Gianca and Nick are two young musicians who dream of putting together a jazz band of their own. After several incidents, they finally organize the "Joy Spring Quintet", around which revolve several family members, friends and girlfriends. The band becomes a success due to Nick's natural talent, which overshadows Gianca's mediocre artistic talent. Nine years later, the two musicians find themselves at a concert Nick is giving in Bologna, where Gianca, who is in the audience, becomes emotional as the song Nick has selected to conclude the concert is the one they wrote together many years ago when life was full of promises. Now the song, entitled "When do the girls show up?", has become a hit.
