The movie "Sole a catinelle" is an Italian comedy-drama film released in 2013, directed by Gennaro Nunziante and starring comedian Checco Zalone as the protagonist, Checco Zalone.

The story revolves around Checco, a father who lives in the southern region of Italy with his wife and son, but constantly dreams of a better life. Checco is a simple man, happily immersed in the comforts of his small-town life, but he always finds himself in financial trouble due to his laziness and lack of ambition.

One day, Checco's life takes an unexpected turn when he wins a large sum of money in the lottery. Excited about his newfound wealth, he decides to take his son, Nicolino, on a road trip from their small village in the south all the way to Milan, in the north. It becomes a grand adventure as they embark on this journey together, with Checco's aspirations of living the high life fueling their travels.

Throughout their trip, Checco encounters various comical and quintessentially Italian situations, as their naive and humble nature clashes with the cosmopolitan and fast-paced lifestyle of the northern cities they visit. Checco and Nicolino meet fascinating characters along the way, including a young woman named Farida, who joins them on their journey.

As the road trip progresses, Checco begins to realize that money can't solve all his problems. He learns important life lessons about family, love, and the true meaning of happiness, with his son acting as a catalyst for his awakening. Checco realizes that the most valuable things in life are often the simplest.

In the end, Checco and his son return home with a changed perspective on life, appreciating the beauty of their small town and the love they have for each other. The film's title, "Sole a catinelle," which translates to "Sun in Buckets," is a metaphor for the protagonist's journey from darkness to enlightenment, as he realizes that true happiness is not found in material wealth but in the simple joys of life.
