Films to see Friday 31 March, in prime time and late evening

The plot of the movie: The film follows the story of six people, exhausted and worn out by their gray lives, who aspire to be comedians. After completing an evening class in stand-up comedy, the six characters face the ultimate test: taking the stage. While they try to make the audience laugh in the club room, an examiner sits among the spectators, tasked with choosing only one of them, the best, to insert in a TV programme. For the six, who dream of making money by making people laugh, it’s a great opportunity and for some it’s also the last chance to get involved and try.
The big evening arrives, the one that could change the life of one of them. One after the other, the six comedians take the stage to perform, all with the same doubt about their performance. In fact, they are uncertain about which scheme to follow, whether to respect the dictates of their teacher, who opts for a sagacious and pungent humor, or to meet the taste of the examiner, inclined towards a lower and less refined comedy than the previous one. But these are not the only two possible paths, because there is a third, a third dilemma, which creeps into their minds, that is, to depart from the two previous choices and take a more original and personal path. What will the six comedians in search of an examiner choose to do?…
