The Bullocks

Alberto, Fausto, Leopoldo, Moraldo, and Riccardo are young-adult friends, living in a provincial coastal Italian town. Most are still living at home, unemployed, spending their time together amusing themselves, which they sometimes find difficult in their boring little town. They always need to sponge money off their loved ones and are mostly aimless, although Leopoldo, the intellectual, writes--mostly plays--and Riccardo sings at every opportunity. The first one forced to at least start to grow up is Fausto the cad, who impregnates Moraldo's naive sister Sandra pregnant. Although he was going to abandon her and run off to Milan, he marries her when his father finds out about the pregnancy. Fausto and Sandra will find if the sheer act of being married and parents will make Fausto truly grow up, or if their example of being married will get any of their friends out of their inertia, most specifically by leaving town to strike out on their own.
