Side Street Story

A combination of a satire on war and a comedy with war as the background. It tells of the ordinary people living on a Naples sidestreet from 1940 to 1950 under the dominance of the Fascists, the Nazis, then the Allies occupation forces. Primary among the citizens are Gennaro Iovine (Eduard De Filippo), who has a penchant for innocently getting into trouble, and his friend Pasquale (Toto). The latter is a rail-sweeper who becomes a professional stand-in: a corpse used to conceal contraband; serving jail time for those who don't care to spend the time to do the time; a substitute at a political rally when violence threatens the scheduled speaker.

After graduating from college, Andy lands the dream job that "a million girls would kill for": assistant to Miranda - the chief editor of Runway, the top-selling fashion magazine in the industry.

From here, Andy, with no sense of fashion at all, begins a fish-out-of-water drama as she is thrown into a lifestyle full of the fast-paced, three-inch-minimum heel height, diet Coke and coffee substance abuse. Andy works really hard to deal with Miranda's endless unimaginable demands. She even becomes trendy and classy. However, she gradually finds she is working 24/7, and soon her life with boyfriend, Nate, and best friend, Lily, is slipping away from her. Then, she realizes that she is losing what really matters.
