Cupid’s voice: plot and previews of the film 30 December on Rai 1 and RaiPlay
Paola (Chiara Francini) has the heart of a lion and the determination of someone who has learned to live on asphalt: she is an expert, ironic and indomitable truck driver, ready to win the coveted title of “Truck Driver of the Year”, the same one that her father had never managed to win. While crossing Italy with his truck, Armando, a few days before New Year’s Eve, makes a stop in Sila at the Hotel 3 Rose. Here he literally clashes with Lucio Ricci (Giorgio Marchesi), the man who has always made his heart beat… just with his voice. Yes, because Lucio is the mysterious and fascinating host of the podcast Cupid’s voice, of which Paola is a huge fan.
Too bad the meeting didn’t happen in the best way: a small accident between her truck and Lucio’s car puts her in trouble. The vehicle never starts again and the long-awaited race risks disappearing. But what seems like a banal unexpected event hides something more sinister: someone seems to have sabotaged his vehicle. And while she tries to understand who could have done it, she finds herself embroiled in a fake love gossip with Lucioconcocted to revive the podcaster’s public image.
