Like no one else he has influenced the content of commercial television in Italy.His TV-channels, known for their over-exposure of almost naked girls, are seen by many as a mirror of his own taste and personality In VIDEOCRAZY director Erik Gandini returns to his country of birth portraying from the inside the consequences of a TV-experiment that Italians have been subjected to for 30 years.
