William "Il Dentone"

Its preparation is so vast and deep to excel in eight languages, "including Arabic and Hebrew," in history, geography, politics, fashion, and even the Civil Code and road (rightly rejects a fine for parking in the wrong direction in a one-way street without having gone obstruction), not to mention a perfect diction. Only drawback is the Bertone teeth very pronounced than at the other candidates in the contest, earned it the nickname of William "the Dentone." It is precisely because of its appearance, believed to be the antithesis of telegenic, that the jury will try to eliminate any pretext, without any of the components has the courage to openly explain the issue (the "complex" in the title of the film then be attributed to the other characters and not to Bertone, who also ignores the existence of the problem, considering negligible according to his way of life a man of culture). The jury prefers Francis Martello, a young good looking who has managed to overcome a certain benevolence of the Committee on all selections, because engaged to actress Gaia Germani. However, the only place available, in the end, will be obtained from Bertone, who will be able to prevail overcoming every kind of test: more than half an hour of tongue-twisters, written about England and the European Common Market (ended with a perfect writing in an hour on the five available quotes in Arabic, German and Flemish), legal quibbles (not included in the oral test because the question had come April 2, two days later than the deadline, but readmitted for demonstrating, with presence of two journalists and a photographer called by him, that the recommended was sent on March 29), trick questions ("The city of Manaus is in East Germany or West Germany?"), the premature termination of his answers' recent and precise "(to the question" The tributaries of the Jordan River in the Land of Israel, what are they? "simply lists the rivers Hasbani, Dan and Banyas excluding the Yarmuk which, although marked on the map provided in 1960, had been diverted to the 1961). Bertone will to win not only the sympathy of the Italians who will watch the news, but also the Kessler twins who wait at the exit of the studies via Teulada.
