Teo and Valeria, boyfriend and girlfriend, decide to spend their holidays in a campsite in the South of France. Valeria’s mother forces them to bring along her older son, Nino.
That’s how their journey, full of misadventures, starts: once Teo and Nino meet two beautiful Swedish girls and forget about Valeria; another time, they pitch a tent in a “military area”, so they get involved in the “great maneuvers”; then, they pass through a fair, where they get caught up by a peculiar rustic atmosphere. Once they arrive at the campsite, they spend their time in squabbles, misunderstandings and jealousy. A group of rich and bored young people invites them in a villa, where Valeria is almost seduced by the owner and his cousin Nanni falls for Nino. On the journey back, Teo and Valeria make peace after a really bad quarrel and they both happily come back to Rome, while Nino knows that Nanni is waiting for him in Florence.
