An aspiring director arrives on set for his first day and is faced with staffing issues, creative disagreements, and self-centered actors.
Sergio forces Alessandro to sign documents that strip him of all his rights, and the excellent performance of a stage actor casts the cast in a bad light.

After the first episode aired, the cast and crew eagerly awaited the ratings results, and René shot a short film about ants.
While René is in Milan to introduce some actors to an advertising agency, the assistant director and the director of photography swap roles.
The series is suspended due to low ratings, so René has to remove all the cast members from the scene in the final episode and Boris is not feeling well.
