Aitanic (2000)

Synopsis of Aitanic

Italian pop singer Nino D'Angelo wrote, directed, and stars in this broad satiric comedy. Leonardo Di Capri (D'Angelo) first loses his job selling flowers in a cemetery, and then learns he must give up custody of his son. A dispirited Leonardo plans to escort the boy back to his mother and then kill himself, but the ferry to the Island of Capri is out of commission due to a strike in the shipyard. A gangster named Aitano offers to let Leonardo and his boy tag along aboard his ship, the Aitanic, which is making the rounds in violation of the strike. En route to Capri, Leonardo meets Giulia Roberti (Sabina Began), a call girl looking to get away from crooked lawyer Riccardo (Mauro Di Francesco), who hired her as his escort. It's love at first sight for Leonardo and Giulia, but when the Aitanic hits some rocks near the coast, a sinking ship could put an end to their romance. Nino D'Angelo also appears in a secondary role as Neon, a tastelessly flamboyant rock star. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
