A man discovers what real love is through the eyes of his sick mother

Some Say No is a new Italian comedy with a very serious subject: the way the country's society is corroded by favoritism that pushes inferior people to the top in virtually every field. In Florence, three thirty-somethings band together to wage their own war on the system. Each of them is a person of talent who has been pushed out by "favorites" or raccomandati, people who have muscled in on the promotions they ought to have gotten by pulling strings.

Carpenter Arturo becomes a literary sensation when the children stories he writes in his spare time get published. However he comes to resent success and the spotlight that comes with it. One day he meets beautiful Matilde and falls in love with her, before finding out she's already married.
