Plot summary

Maurizio is a funny and clumsy Italian voice actor and sound effects artist for old American cartoons, while his brother and business partner does the same for pornographic films. Martina is a self-styled "social worker" who charges harmless men with unusual desires a fee to act out their fantasies, such as a taxi driver who enjoys terrifying passengers with stunt driving. The two meet, and fall in love. One day, however, Maurizio suffers an accident that slowly starts to turn him into a cartoon.
