Tony, a young singer waiting to make his name (played by Tony Renis, riding the wave of his success at the Sanremo Music Festival thanks to the song which is also the title of the movie), skillfully navigates among his six girlfriends, each one of whom is convinced they are the one and only… Naturally, things do not turn out well, right when Tony finds true love with Sandra (Alida Cheli). A simple and straightforward plot that follows the lyrics of the song (“Until yesterday I was someone who / Had always had fun and nothing more / But no longer / I’m not like that anymore / This time I swear that / It’s true love”) and features many appearances by singers of the era as actors (Enzo Jannacci) or portraying themselves: Maria Giovanna Elmi, Jimmy Fontana, Lucio Dalla, Caterina Caselli (in the audience at Caselli’s concert there is even Pippo Franco).
