I guess it is almost a cliche, but I loved every minute of it. The story of a harried mother driving home in Rome supper hour rush hour traffic and her two toddlers are causing mayhem in the back seat. She can't believe her luck when she sees a free parking spot in front of their apartment building. After an illegal manouevre to successfully nab the spot before someone else gets it, a nearby carbinieri (I think that's like our equivalent of a police constable) tells her she has to move-one of the VIP residents of her building has had a bomb threat. She grumbles while she is re-parking. She eventually makes a rude gesture to the policeman. That is when the fun really starts.
