Mario is the wealthy owner of a candy factory and is about to marry Giovanna. The monotony of his work and love life was to be suddenly shaken by an episode: after having picked up one of the balloons used by his firm as an advertising gadget he begins to ask himself just at what point exactly a balloon explodes when blown up. He then decides to turn to various scientific experts for a solution to his problem. (Venice International Film Festival)
