In a winemaking village in Northern Italy, daily life unfolds against the backdrop of a vineyard where the traditional tunes of an Alpini men’s a cappella choir blend with the modern struggles of migrant workers. Tensions simmer during a TV commercial shoot for Crosta winery’s new vintage, “Vino Arlekino”. Mr. Crosta, a stickler for tradition, is in conflict with his forward-thinking brother Alfredo, as well as the commercial director Samuele, who seek to feature children of African migrants, dance moves of Congolese dandies (aka sapeurs), and street dance of popping and locking. Amidst chaos and comedic mishaps, the folkloric Italian character – a harlequin named Grape Maestro – arrives to ultimately bridge the divides.
