Plot summary
It is election day in Italy, and three men are on the road to vote in the towns they come from. Furio, a clerk from Turin who talks constantly and corrects everything, packs his family into the car for Rome, while his wife Magda endures his planning of every stop. Mimmo, a simple young man from Verona, travels with his diabetic grandmother, who leans on him for care and ridicules him along the way. Pasquale, an Italian who lives in Germany and rarely speaks, drives alone toward Matera in the south, glad to be going home. Their journeys become a string of misadventures on the Italian motorways.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Bianco, rosso e Verdone (1981)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Producer Sergio Leone initially feared that Furio, the obsessive clerk played by Carlo Verdone, might be too unlikable for audiences, but he ultimately came to agree with Verdone's creative choices.
- The obsessive, pedantic and neurotic character of Furio recurs frequently in Carlo Verdone's work, and Verdone has said the character was inspired by one of his own relatives.
- Russian actress Irina Sanpiter won the role of Magda, Furio's wife, because of her striking blue eyes and angelic, pale appearance.
