In 1950s Italy, a young woman named Ivanetta travels to Rome with the hope that her honeymoon with her husband will be perfect. However, her excitement turns to frustration when her spouse, a much more serious and conventional man, becomes absorbed in his work responsibilities and routine. Seeking an escape from the monotony, Ivanetta decides to visit a film set where her idol, a famous movie star known as "the Sheikh," will be participating.
What begins as a simple desire to meet her movie star turns into a series of hilarious entanglements and misunderstandings.

Meanwhile, her increasingly worried husband embarks on a frantic search to find her, unleashing comedic and absurd situations. As Ivanetta uncovers the downsides of fame and the superficiality of the entertainment world, her journey becomes a reflection on love, identity, and the pursuit of happiness. Through this peculiar adventure, Ivanetta's marriage is put to the test, and she must decide between the fantasy of cinema and the reality of her life.
